Josh42 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi all, In memory of Stephen Sutton, who lost his brave fight with Cancer last year, the Teenage Cancer Trust has arranged for the record attempt which Stephen himself had planned to go ahead this year. The aim is to set the record for the highest number of tandem skydives in 24hrs, on the 10th July 2015. For those of you who know me, you will understand that my greatest fear is heights and therefore this is no simple task for me. However, during his final 18months, a guy from work had become involved with the fundraising for Stephen and became a very close personal friend of his. I saw the effect Stephen had on Lee and started to take note myself. What I learnt was that, despite Stephen, fully understanding the impending doom facing him, he smiled in the face of fear right until the very end. Never allowing anyone to believe it had beaten him. Therefore, I will take up the challenge and throw myself out of a perfectly functioning aeroplane and hopefully land conscious and in one piece. I would really appreciate any support you can offer and for you to share the link to my just giving page. You can also still get involved with the event, please PM me. https://www.justgiving.com/Josh-Westwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
