I stood there, not sure if the fact I
had to take off my glasses was a good or a bad thing. It was blurry but
one thing was clear, it was a long, long way down. Repeat after me all
you have to do is step and gravity - and ideally the harnesses - will
do the rest.
When I signed up
for this some months ago a bridge swing seemed like a totally awesome
idea. Standing on the edge of the Goodwill Bridge wearing a dragon
onesie and the doubts weren't only creeping they were jumping into my
throat. But then I was ready. On the count of three. One. Two. Three.
Go.
And there it is. Freedom.
I was flying like a bird (a great big green totally lacking grace bird
floating under the bridge). Awesome. Too much fun and about $700 raised
for Save the Children. I'd call that a win. Listen to the audio from ABC Radio Brisbane here
Thanks to my lovely nieces Scarlett Hetherington and Cleo Hetherington for the photos and video from the bottom of the bridge and my new mate Stephen Clover for the photos at the top.
OMG this terrifies me just looking, never mind doing! .. well done :-)
ReplyDeleteI think that's awesome, and I'd love to have a go at such a thing! Well done you for having the courage and for raising so much money.
