Bechets Skydive · 4 June 2011

Behçet's (pronounced Bet-jets) is a rare, complex and life-long condition caused by disturbances in the body's immune system. Behçet's can affect people of any age, but it most common in those aged 20-40. The society runs a helpline, funds research, and offers financial support for patients in need.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our 'JustGiving' Behcets donation page. Behçet’s syndrome (now known as Behçet’s disease) is a chronic condition resulting from disturbances in the body’s immune system.

No-one knows for sure how many people in the UK suffer with Behçet’s disease but it's estimated that there are about 1 in 100,000 - that's roughly about 1000 people in in the UK and unfortunately....our mum is one of them.

To support her and raise awareness for the Behçet’s society, i'll be joining other likeminded fundraisers (supporting their loved ones) at thousands of feet in the air before jumping fearlessly (yeah right) back to earth, i'm sure it will be a walk in the park pffft!! We're aiming to hit £1000+

The tandem jump has been booked for May 4th at 8am with:

Christian Ivory 

London Tandem Skydive / Tandem Sky Dive UK

We'll be taking loads of pictures and recording a video thoughout the day for you all to watch!

Donating through JustGiving is really 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 please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for your support

"After talking to my brother I am now going to be doing this with him! I am very scared of heights and I'm a very nervous passenger on planes!!! I have helped care for my mum since the age of seven, so donating to this charity is very close to my heart; my mum is fighting every day to remain positive even though at the moment there is no cure for her condition. Behcets is very rare complex and life-long condition caused by disturbances in the body's immune system, and not a lot of people know about it even in the medical profession!?! The society runs a helpline, funds research, and offers financial support for patients in need. Please help us raise awareness it only takes a couple of minutes!! Love you lot’s with jelly tots!!!
