James Rose, one of the first children to go to the Peto Institute in the 1980s, has done a sky dive for charity. Susie mentioned it on her blog
http://www.susie-mallett.org/2009/07/skydiver-he-did-it.html
and today I found an article in the press about it.
The article states:
After a long three-year wait, 24-year-old James Rose, who has cerebral palsy, has taken to the sky to fulfil his dream of jumping 13,000 feet out of a plane.
James took the leap on Saturday at RAF Weston in Bicester, Oxfordshire, raising more than £4,000 for charity in the process.
James, who is from Winchester, has had to battle with bureaucracy to get permission to do his "Like A Bat out of Hell" skydive. Doctors had said there was a chance that spasms in his legs, caused by the cerebral palsy, might put him at serious risk during the jump.

Well done, James. What is next?!
