WOW!!! What a day it was - Friday the 20th of March, or Freefall Friday as I like to call it. What an incredible day it was - calm, bright, light winds - perfect for a skydive. The team at Black Knights Parachute Centre were incredible - keeping everyone's nerves in check, and helping us to reach new heights. What a thrill from start to finish, and what an incredible way to complete this wonderful skyborne challenge. Thanks to S-J and the amazing Virgin Voyages team for putting this together - and thanks to you for all the very kind donations. The team at Reuben's Retreat were there with us, cheering us on and offering amazing support - and your support for the charity makes a huge difference to families all around the UK. Well done to the amazing from across travel who jumped with us, we waited, we conquered - and what an amazing feeling to land back down to earth it is! I am buzzing. Thanks for following the story - what's the next challenge? WATCH THIS SPACE
