It's Bob's 50th birthday on 9 September, and a friend suggested something really special to celebrate it: a trip in a jet fighter (https://new.grabone.co.nz/activities-events-outdoors/scenic-flights/p/fighter-jets-nz-121?fbclid=IwAR3OOqdy1TsBv_qB1YnhfxrP9SdG3S2gM67dONWTNyb_GN0t3155wgcnGdU)

Bob is going through cancer treatment, so rather than friends buying him things he can't use or consume, we thought it would be great if they could contribute to a joint present that would be a truly memorable experience.

Just a quick update on Bob's 50th Birthday present - the Jet Fighter Flight is booked in for 29 Feb. Fingers crossed for good weather, and I'll try to post some photos of the big day. Thanks folks!

Josie Shaw's involvement (page creator)

I'm Bob's partner, and wanted a means of letting his friends contribute to a fighter jet trip for his 50th birthday. A friend is buying this on my behalf so Bob doesn't spot it in our bank app.

Which trip type will depend on how much we collect (I'll make up any deficit).

Bob Flies!!! 2 March 2020

We just wanted to send out a big thank you to everyone who donated to Bobs jet flight. We traveled to Tauranga this weekend gone, and Bob has the most exciting flight of his life, with loops, rolls, lots of acrobatics and experiencing 4-G. He came back full of adrenaline, grinning from ear to ear. I’ve added some photos to the givealittle page in case you want to take a look.

Love and thanks,

Josie & Bob
