It's All For a Great Cause

I am sending this Blog post to as many people as I possibly can because I am hoping that recipients might feel able to support something that Sarah and I are doing on January 18th in support of an incredible charity involving children far less lucky than most of us.  The charity is Dreamflight and you can read about it at dreamflight.org.  If you feel that you can, please circulate details to as many people as possible because the intention is to raise as much money as possible to cover the costs of sending some of these kids for the experience of a lifetime at Disney in Florida.

Talking of experiences of a lifetime, please have a look at the following photos (click on them to enlarge) and then read on.

Oh My God!  What Have We Done?

Not So Terrifying From Ground Level!

This Will Be Us Next Week!

Yes, we are jumping off Table Mountain next week attached to a piece of rope and I am the one to blame!  Why?  Well I suppose it's because of Sarah's occupation with British Airways and the fact that I read about the planned antics of the crew of BA2065 who as a whole, had agreed to abseil from Table Mountain while operating out to Cape Town next week.

Being already on holiday in Cape Town, I asked Sarah if this amazing crew might consider an outsider joining them in this adventure for such a great cause?  I asked her some time ago but had forgotten all about it until she herself arrived in South Africa at weekend to advise that we would both be welcomed by the crew to participate!  Yeeeehh!  But then I thought, we??  I have absolutely no fear of heights and certainly no fear of death!  Sarah on the other hand is terrified of heights and is unable even to climb a step ladder so this commitment from her to do something that will be totally terrifying is astonishing and is an act worthy of support.

The BA crew have set up a page on Just Giving which can be found by clicking on the following image:

Any donation would be very gratefully received and if you can, please leave a comment in support of the terrified one!  Me, I am just an old aged thrillseeker who wants to support a truly worthy charity.
Thank you so much in anticipation and please, please, please pass this link onto other people if you feel they might be interested.

Will We Be Smiling With The Rope Attached??
