Story

Me, my brother (Paul) and 80 year old nana (Marg) will be sky diving on Sunday 31st October in memory of a close family friend, Colin Brown, who sadly passed away on 15th October 2020. 

Our main reason for doing this is to raise £5,000 to add to the generous donations from Colin & Mo’s friends and family since his passing, and during the fundraising night on Saturday 11th September. This will allow us to purchase a cuddle bed in Colin’s memory for the Rainbow Rooms at Newbury Hospital. 

One of these beds costs £15,000 and is larger than a normal hospital bed, has more intricate facilities and allows a person to cuddle their loved ones during their final hours/days, as Mo was able to do with Colin. 

Please give anything you can to make this happen and show your support to the three of us. 

Thank you in advance xxx
