Do you remember last year I did the jump to cure diabetes for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation? Yep. Jumped out of an aeroplane. Yep. Skydive, wasn't it. It was in Wollongong. Yeah. Yep. I've got a note. Hope you're well. The jump to cure diabetes is on again. March 17 this year. You can do it in Newcastle or Wollongong. We really appreciate the support that Ben has given JDRF and we'd love to have him back again this year if he's interested. But you know what, Spiro? Considering you're the new sports guy on the breakfast show. Have you ever jumped out of an aeroplane before? Never done it before? I think I might be doing it for the first time by the sounds of it. Well, look, I can't force you to do it. Yep. But I think it would be a good thing to do. It's a once in a lifetime thing. It is. Do you think you'd do it? I think I would. I'd have a go. I'd have a crack. Are we committing? I think I'll commit. I'll do it. I will. I think I'll commit. Well, you wanna wrestle with it for the weekend and we'll confirm on Monday. Sounds good. We'll keep the listeners in suspense, but it sounds exciting to me. Sounds brilliant. Yeah. They said to me, can you jump again? And I thought, look, I could jump again or I could give someone else a go. And I think it'll be a good one for you. So Spiro will confirm on Monday whether he's in for that. And if you're not in, then I'm gonna have to do it. OK, I might spare you from doing it, but I'll have to think over the weekend, chat to the folks and we're good on the jump to cure diabetes happening again this year. It's on the 17th of March this year.

Did You Know???CBCO annually supplies their 45 area hospitals with over 60,000 units of bloodIt takes an average of 200 donations each operating day to meet local patient needsWhole blood donors can give every 56 days (6 x yr) but CBCO’s average donor gives less than twice a yearAlmost 40% of the population is eligible to give blood but only about 3% actually donateLosing high school/college drives in the summer can lead to critical shortages which is why we rely heavily on community/event blood drives.The community needs not only First Responders help but also your help with your donation of blood.
