Summertime

The parachute jump has been pushed back to August 23rd 2008 because the army needed to use the base on the 26th. So I have currently yet to do the jump, and so still am trying to fundraise to meet my target of £500. If anyone does read these blogs, I am raising money for IMC (International Medical Corps) who provide emergency medical care for humanitarian disasters, and at at work in Darfur, Iraq, Chad, Sierra Leone and many other countries.

Otherwise I am STILL currently working to get the showreel together (it's a long process, but worthwhile) and am still working with the awesome Tony Reeves  who has been simply brilliant through the process. There are another couple of potential irons in the fire, but it's too early to say much - as always, more on this to come....

Throwing myself out of a plane

Eek. I usually try and write at least one blog a month and I realise to my horror that I have missed writing anything for June 2008. I have had my head down for most of the month, working hard on getting my showreels up and running, which I am very close to finishing at the moment.  I have been working with Tony Reeves, who has been an utter pillar of strength through the whole process. Tony, you are the best, mate, thank you. I have also had musical performance help from Will Lingard who has very kindly shown me the basics of audio recording (cheers buddy I owe you some beers). Then starts the period of promotion...

I have also decided to to fulfill a lifelong ambition of mine and to throw myself out of a plane. I will be attached to a parachute (and another person - it's called a tandem skydive apparently) rather than an anvil, and I will be doing it on Saturday 26th July. I am doing this for the charity IMC (International Medical Corps) who provide emergency healthcare in disaster zones, and are currently at work in Darfur, Iraq, Chad, Sierra Leone among other countries.  Should anyone actually actually read these blogs and wish to sponsor me, I have set up a just giving site at www.justgiving.com/andrewfisher
