Clive to do the highest bungee jump in the world

As you know, Clive and Trish are currently in New Zealand, following Lisa’s footsteps across the country she found to be truly amazing.  Whilst she was in Queenstown N.Z, Lisa did a free-fall parachute jump and also the biggest bungee jump in the world from the Nevis high wire of 134 Metres.

The video she sent home is now shown as an inspirational DVD to young people to encourage them to go and live their dreams.

And on Lisa’s 31st birthday, March 15th, Clive will make the jump himself.

As you know, Lisa’s charity to date has raised over £180,000 and changed the lives of some forty young students that it has given bursaries to – young students who have had to demonstrate how they have overcome adversity and why they need additional funding to help them with their educational dreams and ambitions.

If you would like to sponsor Clive by making a donation to the charity, it would be gratefully appreciated if you could use the Gift Aid form below which will enable us to maximize any donation you may make.

Clive and Trish to follow Lisa’s footsteps across New Zealand

Following the theft of Lisa’s journal and subsequent return in Dec 2008, Trish and Clive have decided to follow Lisa’s footsteps by traveling to New Zealand in February 2010. They expect the journey to be full of emotion as they follow Lisa’s maps and her adventures as depicted in the journal, but they also hope to find the same inspiration that Lisa found in such a beautiful country.

Lisa’s Grandad Jessiman has passed away

After living a long and active life, Lisa’s Grandad Bob Jesssiman passed away on October 24th at the age of 90.  Bob had been poorly for quite some time and was ready to go and join his granddaughter in a better place free from pain.

His life saw him live through 2 coronations, one abdication and seventeen prime ministers starting with David Lloyd George.  He served in the Royal Army Medical Corps in the second world war in Egypt, Africa, and Germany.  His working life was varied; he was a trawlerman, a factory worker, and spent most of his working life as a boilerman fireman in the pit. He loved fishing, and later bowling at Scoonie Bowls Club in Leven, Fife where he lived most of his life with his wife Margaret.  They had five children, twelve grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.  In 2002, Bob and Margaret moved south following Scott and Kelly’s wedding in Scotland.

Bob will be laid to rest at Redlynch cemetery in Wiltshire which was his request.  He will be missed by all.

A star is named after Lisa

Lisa’s uncle Andy and his family recently named a star after Lisa.
The Lisa Alexandra Wilson Star is registered in the intergalactic starbase number ISD 0067510 and registered in star location M50.  It is situated in the constellation  of Monoceros.

This is very appropriate as the charity logo is a shooting star.
