Falling out a plane.

Hello everyone,

I suffer with Ataxia through having Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) and while I'm still mobile enough, I've decided to do a fundraising skydive for the U.K. HSP support group in April this year.

All donations will be gratefully received. Please check out my fundraising page at justgiving.com/page/mark-mc... and give what you can.

Many thanks, Mark

Wow, i did that for my 50th birthday and gave donations to ataxia UK. It was something i had always wanted to do and i thought let's just do it. The instructor has a special suit made for disabled people and obviously it was a tandem skydive. I really enjoyed it - i hope you do too. Just like flying 👍. Xx
