Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Back in spring 2017 Mac became poorly, he was misdiagnosed with a viral infection and despite taking medication he sadly died after two weeks without us knowing what was truly wrong with him. Two days after macs death Herbie fell ill and was immediately diagnosed with Equine Grass Sickness. He battled this awful disease for four days, but he tragically died six days after Mac. We have decided to do this skydive (even though we are both terrified of flying!) to raise awareness of this awful disease as not enough is known about it. Without funds no research can be done and no cure will be found.
