My skydive for LUPUS UK

Hi everybody.

On saturday my friend Laura and I did a skydive raising funds and awareness for LUPUS UK. Here's a picture of us just outside the hanger.

I have to say it was one of the weirdest experiences I have ever had. I felt so detached whilst it was happening but it was so beautiful up at 10,000 feet above a blanket of cloud. It was like a dream.

I don't exactly have the strongest stomach in the world and I felt like I was recovering from a hangover for the rest of the day, Laura was perfectly fine and making fun of me :)

We managed to raise around £300, the final amount isn't sorted yet as we still have some money coming in. It was a really great day and we can't wait to do our next event.

Thank you to everyone for your best wishes.
