[B]Go here to donate: [URL]http://www.bmycharity.com/V2/BenGoesAirborne[/URL] Help me go skydiving by donating to charity![/B] [I]Actually I am not going skydiving, but my Brother will be if you help. I'm positing this to help him out[/I] [IMG]http://www.skydiveorange.com/tandem4-300-400.jpg[/IMG] So skydiving, that crazy sport where you throw yourselves out of an air-plane for fun, we all know the gist. Now I'm a triplet and me and my brother and sister are coming up to our 16th birthday. We all want to do different things, and my brother (you can just about guess by now) wants to go skydiving. Not only that though, he doesn't just want to pay to go he is actually going to raise money for charity to do so. He will be jumping with a company called Click and Jump. [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/06/14/article-1026390-0198AAA200000578-279_468x311.jpg[/IMG] The charity Parachute Regiment Charity for the British Army. Now I know a lot of you aren't British and maybe don't care for the Para's but my dad was a para and when my brother joins the army he wants to be one as well. The charity stands to raise money not for the parachute regiment as funding but to benefit the lives of paras and their families who have been put through distress from death or injury. Now that's pretty damn similar to help for heroes but when you donate to the Parachute Regiment Charity that the money is [B]guaranteed[/B] to reach the men of the Parachute Regiment and really help actual soldiers, past or present. So let's get to the point. What I'm asking here is not to do this for me, or my brother but to just donate to help some of the bravest men on the planet, these guys are the closet thing you can get to calling the SAS without being in the SAS and considering the majority of the SAS are from the Parachute Regiment speaks volumes. I know many of you couldn't give two monkey shits, that's fine just don't post about it. What I am asking here is any of you want to support a charity, and also do something nice for my brother then just donate something. I don't care if it's a penny or ten pounds, please donate anything you can spare. The target for him to go skydiving is [B]£500.00[/B] if it goes over then it still gets donated to charity.

£500 for skydiving seems a bit expensive.
Cool, I'll help out. Just be sure to post pics!
I'd like to help out, but I'm unemployed. Good luck with the cause!
You're diving in the sky for charity.
[QUOTE=Cap'n Obvious;26164227]You're diving in the sky for charity.[/QUOTE] Get the fuck out.
[QUOTE=mrryanchisholm;26164245]Get the fuck out.[/QUOTE] You want me to get the fuck out.
its been my dream to go sky diving! (more so base jumping... but its all the same.)
[QUOTE=Cap'n Obvious;26164286]You want me to get the fuck out.[/QUOTE] You're not funny.

I wish your brother good luck, skydiving is one of the most amazing things I've ever done. It's so incredibly calm up there, there's nothing like it.
I want to go skydiving... :smith:
How much did OP get till now?
How about no. Where's my skydiving ticket? Ok, before I get rated dumb, I was joking. I donated, even though I don't get a tax break in the US.
[QUOTE=Xephio;26166538]How much did OP get till now?[/QUOTE] The current total is at £78.00, £50.00 from our parents, £25.00 from our dad (he lives away) and £3.00 from an unknown William Declan Shaw. Thanks for the support guys, it means a lot. I'll try and find out if pictures are included, I know if you raise £1000 they film it for you on a head cam.
Good luck for him. I'm skint, so no donations from me :v:.
I've been skydiving, saying it's awesome would be an understatement
Just donated £3, its all I can afford sorry :(
[QUOTE=samwilki;26175793]Just donated £3, its all I can afford sorry :([/QUOTE] Thank you very much, I'll add your name to the OP!
How much have you got so far, OP?
[QUOTE=markg06;26160810]£500 for skydiving seems a bit expensive.[/QUOTE] Fuel, safety regulations, ATC, and an instructor has to strap you to their torso so you don't kill yourself, 500 bucks seems like a steal.
[QUOTE=iPope;26178841]Thank you very much, I'll add your name to the OP![/QUOTE] £81, its on the page.
What if you puke while skydiving, will it go back into you and you drown and die?
[QUOTE=RayDark;26181523]What if you puke while skydiving, will it go back into you and you drown and die?[/QUOTE] Yeah this happened to my brother, the exact same thing happens if you have a wank.
