Thank you to everyone who donated.  We all successfully skydived on 12th June.  It was a great day.  We're hoping to raise £15000 in total so your continued donations are appreciated!

Thank you, Jason


On the 17th April as part of Parkinson's awareness week I shall be making a Skydive along with other supporters of Parkinson's.  I have always had a fascination with skydiving and planes but wanted to do it for a worthwhile cause.

For over eighteen years, Dad has had Parkinson's Disease.  Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition affecting movements such as walking, talking, and writing. It is named after Dr James Parkinson, the London doctor who first identified Parkinson's as a specific condition.

This debilitating condition has robbed Dad of his independence and freedom. Only with the strength and relentless energy of my Mum, along with the support of my brother Daryl and myself has he continued to enjoy some quality of life.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Many thanks, Jason
