Isn't it just a bit shocking that a charity had to fork out to make this happen?

Saw it on the news, great news. Had to chukle though at the first lad interviewed who was obviously over awed by the camera. He drilled into the ground at about 85Mph during a sport parachute jump after his main failed and his secondry partially failed. wonder if he does the lottery.

Their media management is really pisspoor.

I think its a disgrace that there isnt a govt funded place set up of similar idea, Fantastic effort by whoever dug their hand into there pocket to pay for it but realistically 12 beds wont be enough for the week, the Govt certainly working by the notion that if they can
