At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you. Visit www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk

Story

The date of the jump is the 20th/21st of JUNE!!!

It’s a Tandem sky dive free falling through the air for several thousand feet before releasing the canopy. I’ll be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times with a chance to steer us to the safety of the steady ground.

Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying 10,000 feet – noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go – falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start free falling at over 120mph!

Sounds scary….. But it’s the chance of a lifetime!!


Please help me to raise money for CLIC Sargent so that they may carry on helping people like me deal with and be able to recover from the unexpected and make events like these possible. THANK YOU CLIC!!


Here's how your money can help:

£1.50 - Puts cancer and leukaemia into words that young children can understand, in a set of three colourful storybooks written especially for children under 10.

£20 - Helps buy several blood sample kits that CLIC Sargent Nurses can use on a home visit, saving a family making a round trip to hospital for a simple blood test.

£100 - Means a young person who has (or had) cancer or leukaemia can go on an activity weekend. After months in hospital it helps them restore self-confidence, regain independence and rebuild a social life.

£450 - Funds a CLIC Sargent Family Support Worker for a week. When a sick child is in hospital they help at home, pick up siblings from school, organise activities and keep everyday life as 'normal' as possible.

£1000 - Means that a family can enjoy a relaxing holiday together, taking a break from the trauma of treatment, at Malcolm Sargent House in Ayrshire. It may be the first family holiday for years.

Every penny counts guys.....
