Thank you for visiting my Justgiving page. 

My granddaughter, Hazel, has wanted to do a skydive since she was 12 and asked me to do one with her.  I agreed, never thinking it would actually happen, and come around so quickly! 

We have decided to support Care for the Carers because they have helped me as a carer, and are there for all unpaid carers across East Sussex, supporting over 7,500 carers a year. 

10 years ago I ‘gradually’ became a full time carer for my parents, and eventually a carer also,for my partner who developed Alzheimer’s. As they became more reliant on me I didn’t realise the toll it can have on your mental and physical health and how your whole life is put on hold whilst caring. 

Care for the Carers supported me massively, introducing me to other carers,  provided a network of support, and made me realise I was not alone. This charity became, and is still, very important to me, and I want to support, and give something back to them.

Hazel and I would like to raise money for them through this skydive, to highlight to others their existence and help them continue their magnificent work in helping other carers. 

By raising money and awareness of the Care for the Carers charity,  it has spurred me on to make the jump worthwhile, and do something out of my comfort zone. 

Thank you for your support!
