My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My youngest son Jordan was diagnosed with aggressive Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in April 2010 and then began 9 months of exhausting chemotherapy and radiotherapy.  Despite losing his hair and being permanently exhausted, he never lost his positive outlook and continued to coach his young team of footballers.  He has been in remission since April 2011 and he is now looking forward to hopefully starting a career in football coaching.  While ill he also managed to pass 2 A levels and passed his driving test when just into remission. 

Our ClicSargent support nominated Jordan for a Starlight wish and this was granted in November 2010, just before he started radiotherapy.  As a lifelong Chelsea fan, his wish was to meet the team and he was given a weekend in London for himself, myself and two friends, this included going to the Chelsea v Sunderland game on the Sunday, watching it from the players family box and meeting the players in the tunnel after the game.  Jordan got lots of photos and autographs and had his shirt signed.  He knew around July that he was having this fantastic trip and the boost it gave him was immense, it was so important for him to have something to look forward to and he did not stop smiling all the time we were at the ground! 

Starlight grant wishes for terminally and seriously ill children and anything I can raise will help this brilliant charity to continue helping these children.

I now feel I want to give something back and am doing a tandem parachute jump on Saturday 23rd June 2012 to raise funds for ClicSargent, Starlight Children's Foundation and The Colney Centre at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully you will donate to this worthy cause.

 

Much love, Amanda and Jordan xxx
