Just to say thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Karen has already passed the £1,200 mark! I was at the Rainbow Centre today and they, as we, are totally overwhelmemed.
I've come to terms with my impending shuffle of this mortal coil some while ago. I've had a bloody good time, worked with some fantastic people, done some great jobs, worked on some brilliant sqns, flown in everything from a Canberra to a Typhoon and had even fun to boot. I've got the easy job, just not die for as long as possible (though I suspect that life time membership to the National Trust no longer represens the value it once did).
My wife and kids have supported me throughout my career and illness, and I wouldn't have made it this far without them. They have the hard part and have to keep going once I'm dead. That's where the work of the Rainbow Centre comes in as they are the only real safety net they have to help them pick up the pieces afterwards.
So thanks again for your donations, they mean so much.
