Mike Coventry skydive for Fortycubed-Autism Berkshire

One of my wife's oldest friends is doing something amazing... FORTY CUBED... For her 40th birthday she has targetted herself to raise at least £40k across 40 different charities.... Pretty impressive!!!

One of the charities chosen and the one we're supporting is Autism Berkshire, this is the charity my wife does such a fantastic job for helping to support local families that have children diagnosed with Autism.

So I decided I wanted to help raise some money for this remarkable charity.

The question is what? Something that will test me, strike fear into me and be massively challenging.....

Those of you that know me well will know how much I hate heights, so what better way to challenge myself than to jump out of a plane at approximately 14,000 feet.... Eeeek :-(

Pretty scarey... however I have zoomed in really fast on Google earth... Surely it can't be that dissimilar.... Can it????

Autism Berkshire (www.autismberkshire.org.uk) is an amazing Charity which is close to our hearts, their mission is to help and support people with Autism and their families by providing support, advice, training, activities and raising awareness to promote a greater understanding of Autism.

Donations no matter how big or small play an essential part in supporting the work of Autism Berkshire.

Please read the Fortycubed blog (www.fortycubed.co.uk) to find out about the Fantastic fundraising being done for 40 charities.

A small portion of the sponsorship will be used to pay for my jump.
