"are you crazy" was my response, "do I have to Jump?"
Very soon we had many people signing up and wanting to take that step out of their comfort zone to support families in crisis.
Jumping from a plane had never been on my 'to do list'. On my 'to do list' was to support families who needed it the most. Although to support families I needed to raise money, so I needed to jump.
AHHHHHHHH
I rang my mum, I said 'if you jump I will too" she agreed and signed up the next day. My sister also signed up. I had too.
Really, I was going to jump from a plane?
The anxiety flowed through me daily, the what if's consumed my thoughts. I researched the stats and guess what, no one has ever been severely injured in Australia EVER tandem jumping. Better stats than any activity (including walking across the street)
YES, I was going to jump. with 30 + other women supporting Support for Mums.
That morning of the jump I was SO nervous. I was about to jump from a plane, I was about to take a HUGE step out of my comfort zone and experience something that I had never really longed for.
Trust played a huge part in my experience. When I met my jumping partner who was going to be attached to me on the way down; I looked at him and said 'you have my 100% trust' wow, what a huge statement to make to anyone.
This is me (please turn down the volume if there are children in the room as I do use explicit language as i free fall at approx 220km per hour)
