Bit of a sales
pitch blog this time, as a one – off!
On Saturday May 21st this year I am doing a charity
skydive for my longtime friend Pepita-Louise Brooks.
I met Pepi when we were about 9 years old (back in
the eclectic 80's) and we had loads of fun playing together in the woods near
my parents’ home in Portslade, East Sussex. And
if you like your minutiae, it was often Indiana
Jones based!
As is often the case, we lost contact over the years
growing up, but since the turn of the century we've never been more than an
eMail or a Facebook status away.
Like many of her close friends and family, I was
extremely sad to hear that Pepi had been diagnosed with Myeloma – an incurable
cancer that so few people seem to know much about. But what admiration
we've all had for her spirit and incredibly optimistic approach to
this burden she's had to bear and fight.
Pepi is truly an inspiration to anyone who has had
this form of cancer, and I know she has offered support to many others along
the way.
The least I can do, as one of her oldest friends, is
to help raise some awareness and funds for this worthy charity. I hope you can
help me achieve this goal!
