Hi everyone.

I haven't posted in a while. It's just an update, I mentioned a while ago that I had signed up for a skyjump to raise money for Epilepsy.

I managed to raise £890 and I said I would put the rest in to make it up to a £1000.

Unfortunately, I can't post a photo of the proof :(

But it was great. I chose the charity, Epilepsy Research UK to raise money.

Hope you all are well :)
 
Awesome! Well done. I've always wanted to try sky diving. The closest I've gotten is bungee jumping and that was a rush. Sky diving is still on my "bucket list".
 
Thumbs-up! That's great that you were able to do it! I'm not sure I would be able to take the leap.
 
I just saw on the news about someone who had a seizure while sky diving. Luckily someone who was with him realized there was something wrong and managed to pull the cord so the shoot went off.

Glad it wasn't you!!!!
 
I saw this again while I was watching the news this afternoon with my dad. I started laughing and he did too (my dad and I think alike). Not because the man had a seizure but because if it were one of us that it happened to we would be so ticked off that we'd managed to finally get the guts to jump out of a plane then end up not remembering any of it!

I saw it, too. It was in Australia. The guy had been seizure-free for 4 years and his neuro gave him the ok to sky dive.

Just proves that once you have epilepsy you will always have epilepsy.....
