Antony’s story…

I'd heard of Brainfog, Wendy used to tell me what was happening on there, but I never paid it a great deal of attention. That was until a meet was arranged in Snowdon. All of a sudden I was going to find out what this group was about. After a great weekend with not just ill people but people like me, caring for partners and having to work to pay the bills, I became more interested in reading and replying to bf threads. Now, bearing in mind that I work nine hours a day and then go home to cooking etc, I like to do something different every now and then, so when I saw that a volunteer was needed to jump off a pier I thought it's not often you get to do things like that so I replied and said 'if you cant find anybody else I'll do it'. Within an hour I was the nominated idiot.

The details I received after that did leave me wondering if it was such a good idea. I'm a quiet person in real life so the idea of performing on stage did concern me a bit but I figured it's a one off, 99.9% of the people there won’t know me and won’t care, and it will be an experience for me, so in the name of charity I'll give it my best shot. The jump itself should be fun, if a little scary, and that’s the part I'm going to enjoy.
