mandragora1 is a buddy of mine who has a friend and neighbour, Rachel, who has entered a contest with the UK Discovery Channel. Rachel wants to go wing-walking, which is moving around on the wings of a plane while it's in flight!!! Personally, I can think of few things I want to do LESS than wing-walking, but to each their own. I'll let

mandragora1 explain further (her words in italics):

Please vote for my wonderful neighbour, Rachel, who's entered into an online competition to win a wing walk.

By way of background, Rachel had to take very early retirement due to ill-health. She has Crohn's Disease and has to use crutches to walk with due to badly hurting her knee. Despite this, when she's well she hasn't let her ill health from stopping her getting on with things - such as teaching herself plumbing and electrics and DIY, where she's so good that builders I've hired have offered her a job! She's one of these very capable people who could do anything...except when her condition flares up and then she has to rest until she's well enough to function again, which I know she finds very frustrating and upsetting.

She'll do anything for everyone to help out when she's well enough, is always on hand to help and would really love the chance to wing walk (even with a dodgy knee and crutches!).

If you can spare moment to vote for her, you'll not only make her very happy but if she wins but she'll also donate £100 to Comic Relief, so it's win win!

She's no 13 on the link below.

You have to vote for three participants so please be as random as possible with the other votes (as we want her to
win!).

Also, if you could consider e-blogging this so that even more people see this and vote for Rachel that would be fabulous! Please help Rachel win - it would be lovely to make her so happy!

OK, enough

mandragora1, it's me again. I voted, and you need to enter an email address and phone number. I used my Canadian phone number and it went through fine. If anybody isn't comfortable giving the Discovery Channel that info, no worries. Apologies if anybody finds this type of forward irritating. I don't usually re-blog this type of thing, but any friend of

mandragora1... Please feel free to scroll on by if you're not interested. It's all good.
