Story

Updated on Sep 4th 2012 at 6:14 AM from the JustGiving API

The excellent news is we did it! We plunged from 11000ft and sort of enjoyed it! The sad, sad news is that Lianne passed away two weeks ago, so it was in her memory. Thank you so much to everyone for your kind donations.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Some of you may know that one of our best friends Lianne is suffering from brain cancer. She has been receiving fantastic respite care from the Phyllis Tuckwell charity hospice over the past few years and despite her illness she has done a lot of raise money for them, including appearing on their recent adverts and in magazine articles. 

Unfortunately Lianne's is unable to continue campaigning for them. So we have decided to pick up the baton, and continue the fund raising for this fantastic hospice who help not only Lianne, but thousands of other people in Surrey and Hampshire providing comfort and care in the final stages of their lives. You can find out more about Phyllis Tuckwell, and see Lianne's picture here http://www.pth.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising. That's her and her mum in the banner. 

Here goes, we are doing a sky dive to raise money for Phyllis Tuckwell in two months.  A sky dive might not seem the most unusual fund raising event, however Debs is pants-fillingly frightened of heights, and Rowan has horrific motion sickness. There is a high chance we will either faint or puke on the way down. But we figure if Lianne, and all the patients at Phyllis Tuckwell, can go through what they are going through, then we can suck it up and fling ourselves out of a plane. 

And this is where you guys come in. Please give whatever you can afford to help support this fantastic charity. In return we guarantee terrified photos of ourselves flinging ourselves out a plane. Please help me scare the bejesus out of us for a good cause :-) So please dig deep and donate now.
