Matt
Ryan Takes a Dive for Charity!
Matt
Ryan, Triple Olympic Gold Medallist, Three-Day Eventer is used to
taking dives from horses over the years, but jumping out of an airplane
is a completely different game.
On
13th April 2003 at The Royal Airforce Sport Parachute Association
at RAF Weston on the Green in Oxfordshire, Matt will sky dive to
raise money for the Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund.
This
is no ordinary jump. Matt will jump from 10,000ft and free fall
through the air down to 5,000ft where the parachute will be deployed
and Matt will drift gracefully to safety.
Matt
won't be on his own - he will be harnessed to a professional parachute
instructor, helping him complete a staggering two mile high tandem
skydive!
And
Matt will be achieving an life-time ambition of his.
'I've
always wanted to ski-dive and when I read about it in Eventing Magazine,
I just knew I wanted to do it!
I
have raised money for the Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund before
and so already have a connection with them. Realistically, we all
know one day we could need their help - they've helped friends of
mine before.
I'm
really excited. It's an incredible opportunity that I can do, whilst
raising money for a charity that is very close to my heart.'
Matt
needs your help. He needs to raise sponsorship money in order to
take part in this fantastic event. To sponsor Matt to risk his life
for charity, please call Armadillo to pledge your support. All donations
will be in aid of the Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund.
