"Today I am looking for someone to jump from a plane!"


As a BNI member in Luton, I visited the Harpenden chapter as a sub for the first time last November. One of the members, Robin Nisbet of Harpenden Spotlight on Africa, represents a local charity working to link the people of Harpenden with communities in sub-Saharan Africa, primarily to support local initiatives to alleviate poverty. (www.harpendensoa.org.uk)

When their representative stood up for his 60-seconds and announced he was looking for people who will jump out of a plane with him, he could hardly believe it when both my partner and I stood up and said, "We'd be happy to!"

Since last November we have been preparing for the jump, which took place on September 30, 2009.  Cloudy weather meant our jump was delayed - not good for the nerves!  We raised sponsorship and, more importantly, awareness for Robin's charity.

In all my time as a member I had not seen such a powerful example of being so specific in your 60-seconds!
