To jump out of an aeroplane is something I've wanted to do for a very long time!
My first attempt, which would have been a solo jump when I was a young 40+ year old, was scuppered by bad weather and then by me sustaining an ankle injury.
30+years on and now a 70 year old that has lost a bit of nerve to do a solo jump, but would still like to jump out of an aeroplane before loosing my nerve completely, I have opted to do a tandem parachute jump instead.
I will be jumping from an aircraft some 10,000ft above Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent on the 25th May, raising money for my favourite children's charity 'Stand By Me'.
Thanks!
Shirley

Good luck, Shirley! My sister-in-law, an Anglican nun, did it when she was 80!
