Victoria Barr, who has limb girdle muscular dystrophy, completed a 10,000ft tandem parachute jump in August 2006 to raise £5,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.

And she isn't stopping there! She is about to head to South Africa for 6 weeks of training with 'Flying Scholarships for the disabled'. Victoria will be learning to fly a light aircraft and hoping to get her South African Private Pilots Licence!

To keep you updated she has set up a blog http://victoriabarr.blogspot.com/ So why not check it out and show your support on yet another brave journey!
