My story

 

A personal message from Carol

Hello :-)

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am really excited (scared, s**tting myself) to be doing this 10,000ft Tandem Skydive (at Netheravon, near Salisbury), particularly as any monies I raise go to the Countess Mountbatten Hospice Charity.  I've had personal experience of a visiting a family member at the hospice and it's such a peaceful and wonderful place for the patients to spend their final days.  The staff are 'angels' and a real inspiration. 

I am doing this for my dad who sadly died from Cancer on May 12th, and will be very much missed by very many people.

I would really, really appreciate any donation that you can spare, for such a special cause.

So please donate now!
 
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me.  Countess Mountbatten Hospice Charity gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you all so much your support  it will mean such a lot to so many people. I'll think of you all when I'm at 10,00ft and just about to jump.... omg!!!!! wish me luck!!!

A message from Nigel

I am doing this for 'Bake' aka George James Baker, aka my fiancee's dad, who sadly died from Cancer on May 12th, and will be very much missed by very many people.

I would really, really appreciate any donation that you can spare, for such a special cause.

So please donate now! (think Bob Geldof's Live Aid rant)

Thank you all so much your support  it will mean such a lot to so many people. I'll think of you all when I'm at 10,00ft or more and just about to jump.... I get to have the thrill of a lifetime, AND you get to contribute to one of the worthiest causes I have ever come across. The staff at The Countess Mounbatten were (insert superlative of your choice) absolutely top people.

We don't want our loved ones to die, but once we accept it's inevitability, we want them to live their lives right up til the end, and finally go peacefully, with dignity, and surrounded by their loved ones.

Thanks to The Countess Mountbatten staff all but one of our wishes came true. Thanks to them all.

Your donations will help pay staffing costs, and they certainly deserve every penny they earn. Also more mundane things like equipment, even dimmer switches, all come out of charitable donations so again, please give generously.

Thank you all

Carol & Nigel
