Falling 190ft

On March 12th 2006, I'll be falling 190ft off the tallest building on the University of Nottingham campus, held up only by a couple of piddly bits of rope. I believe this is normally called "abseiling". Cancer Research UK are organising the event, and, inevitably, I'm collecting sponsorship money for them. CRUK have asked that I try to raise at least £75, and I'm already over halfway to this target. If I raise £250, I'll get a voucher for a free helicopter ride, although to be honest I'm not keen to use it — if it's possible, I might auction off the voucher on ebay and give the proceeds of that to CRUK, or something.

No donation is too big or too small! If you'd like to sponsor me, (and assuming you won't see me in person at some point), the best thing to do at this point is to email me. I'll need to know your name, address, postcode, the amount you wish to sponsor me, and whether or not you are a UK taxpayer — if you are, CRUK can get a further 28% on top of what you sponsor me, courtesy of the government's Gift Aid scheme (assuming you're happy for them to do so).

My most generous sponsor so far has pledged over £30. Thanks, Carl!
