<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :)</p>
<p>I am doing a tandem skydive on the 29th July for an amazing charity and this is why.....</p>
<p>During University I met some incredible people, but there was one who stood out from all the rest. Nikki and I met on a drunken night out and bonded over our love of wine and messy antics! Over the next couple of years we became best friends and completely inseperable! She was the most fun, intelligent, beautiful and sweet girl I had ever met and she was more like a sister than a friend.</p>
<p>It was at uni that Nik met the love of her life, Luke, who was also an aspiring actor. During their final year Luke was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He spent the last year of his life in hospital and Nikki put her degree on hold so she could be at his bedside every day.</p>
<p>Watching Luke in hospital was so difficult for his family and friends but Nikki still managed to bring a smile to his face like nobody else could.</p>
<p>When Luke lost his battle with cancer in Jan 09 Nikki was of course completely devestated but she somehow managed to focus all her energy to completeing her degree.</p>
<p>University ended that May and Nikki and I made plans to move to London together. I knew Nikki was battling depression after losing Luke but I didnt fully realise just exaclty what she was going through.</p>
<p>A few months later Nikki took her own life.</p>
<p>August the 17th will forever be the day that sticks in mind as it was the day Nikki commited suicide. Nikki was an amazingly talented woman who fell in love and lost her soulmate too soon.</p>
<p>Nikki's family and friends may never be able to come to terms with whats happend but if I can help raise awareness about depression and suicide I feel like I may be able to help a tiny bit.</p>
<p>I've lost my best friend and will probably never forgive myself for not understanding fully what Nikki was feeling, so nows the time for me to help support a charity that can make an impact.</p>
<p>Please please please give as much as you can for this charity who raise awareness and reduce stigma about depression.</p>

<p>I will miss laughing at you for thinking a chicken goujon was a type of cheese. <br /><br />I will miss seeing how amazing you were with luke each and every day he was ill. <br /><br />I will miss staying in bed with you for days on end watching all the SAW fims. <br /><br />I will miss the way you truly listen. <br /><br />I will miss being really hungover and going for lunch in our PJs. <br /><br />I will miss how much you love the sun and always found a patch of grass to lie on, no matter where!! <br /><br />I will miss the little noises you make when your sleeping. <br /><br />I will miss laughing so hard with you that we cry. <br /><br />I will miss your smell. <br /><br />I will miss dancing to our favourite songs. <br /><br />I will miss trying to pull guys off you in a club! <br /><br />I will miss the way you hug me for no reason atall. <br /><br />I will miss your hair, your eyes, your freckles, your nose, your smile, your laugh and your cry, they were all so beautiful to me. <br /><br />But most of all i will miss my best friend. <br /><br />I will never forget all the good times we had together, good and bad. You are beautiful and charming, funny and stubborn. <br /><br />I will miss everything about you. But you will stay in my heart forever. <br /><br />I love you x x x x x x</p>
