Fifteen years ago five young disabled students moved into my former family home. My dream was to empower young people and help them develop the skills and confidence to live as independent and fulfilling a life as possible, using their talent and interest in the arts. My dream has come true and I thank those who have supported us so much over the years. 

I will be jumping from a plane at 10,000 ft alongside a team of Orpheus supporters on 17 May 2014 to raise money for Orpheus.

This is the second time I've done a skydive for Orpheus. The first time you do anything this exciting, you hardly notice what's going on. The second time I am hoping to concentrate a bit more!

I am really grateful to everyone who is joining me in supporting the wonderful Orpheus Centre. Thank you for your generous donations; the money raised really will make such a difference to the lives of these young people.
