TAQA assessor news…….

Sarah Outing, training adviser at YMCA Training Dover tells us about her recent charity skydive……

On Sunday June 5th 2011, I took part in a 'tandem skydive' at RAF Weston on the Green near Oxford. I jumped 10,000 ft strapped to a highly qualified instructor. We freefalled for about 40 seconds at 120 mph before our parachute opened at 5,000 ft and we glided towards the ground. My instructor Phil was brave enough to let me steer the parachute once it opened. It was an absolutely fantastic experience and I'd definitely do it again.

I'd like to thank all my colleagues at YMCA Training for sponsoring me. So far I've raised over £900 for Helen & Douglas House in Oxford. This is a registered charity providing respite and end of life care for children and young adults with life-shortening conditions, as well as support and friendship for the whole family. The two hospice houses are bright, vibrant and positive places, where the emphasis is on living life to the full, even when that life may be short.

This charity is very close to my heart as my step-daughter Rebecca went to Douglas House for respite in May 2010 but sadly passed away there three weeks later. Even though her time there was very short she was looked after really well by all the staff.

If anyone would like to sponsor me, I have a fundraising page which is open until the end of June. Just go to www.justgiving.com/Sarah-Outing
