"The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" -  F Roosevelt

Yes, that is right.

Barbs will be taking to the skies, jumping from 15,000ft and free falling at 120mph- to raise money for those who are not afraid to stand up to cancer.

Why skydiving?

I want to change the way we think about risk and show that our fears are often unjustified.

The more chance of pain and suffering the risk involves (like cancer), the scarier it feels. Fear is a complex emotion and many of us simply avoid it. While this may alleviate anxiety in a practical sense, it also accentuates a feeling of failure and lack of confidence. The best way to overcome fear is by exposure to that fear - a key psychological therapy.


I want to believe that cancer is no longer a death sentence. The more we invest in cancer research, the more medically informed and less frightened we are going to be of it.

I am here to stand in solidarity with my Beloved Dad, my entire Family and all those who were given the 'C' word diagnosis.

Join me in a united front on the war against Cancer. Help me to overcome fear and fight with me in the battle against Cancer Phobia.

Every word of encouragement and every dropped penny is appreciated and needed, no matter how big or small. It's the small changes that make big change happen.

Thank you so much for visiting my page! May the joy of living and the spirit of courage be always with you and your loved ones!
