My story

 

WE DID IT!!!!!  

Thank you SO much for all your support, kind words, and encouragement, as well as your huge generosity as we smashed our target last week and are getting closer to £2000 for Keech Cottage which is incredible.

Please keep giving whatever you can, we visited the hospice on Monday and realise what an incredible job they do. It is a happy place, with the most amazing facilities. They are open 24/7 and never ever turn any family away if they need help, no matter what.

If you want to see us in action, have a look at the other photos on the left - they are quite entertaining and most importantly proof!

Thanks so much once again, Sarah and Kate


************************

Sarah and I did a tandem skydive on Sunday 20 September to raise funds for the wonderful Keech Cottage Childrens Hospice. They provide care and support for families and children with life-limiting conditions. Janice O'Neill their Director of fundraising works tirelessly to raise awareness of the wonderful work they do and has shared many moving stories of the difference that Keech Cottage has made to families in unbearably sad circumstances, and to the children who can be safe and happy.  She has inspired us to do this. 

We understand that many of our friends and families support all sorts of charities, and we all do what we can to support one another - and completely understand if this is one ask too many - but really every little helps. Our joint target of £1000  will be a tiny drop in the £3 million ocean which Keech needs to raise each year.

We are both totally terrified at the prospect, though excited too as leaping out of an aeroplane at 10,000 feet strapped to some stranger seems to be an ambition for us both, so if you fancy coming and supporting us on the day, do let us know. 20 September in Oxfordshire.
