Mum: “Want to jump out of a plane
with me?”

Me: “uh……… sure??  Sounds like fun!”

Mum: 2We’re doing it to raise
money for The Devon Partnership NHS Trust2

Me: “Right, well, in that case,
you can definitely count me in.  I can’t
think of a better reason to jump out of a perfectly functioning aircraft!”

So we are jumping out of a plane at 15000ft, the highest tandem skydive in the country, in the hopes of raising some money and lots of awareness for the amazing work the DPT does. This cause is close to our hearts. They provide support for people from all walks of life and with all kinds of mental health issues. Because this is for such a worthy
cause, we will both be funding the jump ourselves.  That way, every penny raised through your donations will go directly to the charity.

Having struggled in the past with depression and anxiety myself, I know first-hand how vital it is to be able to reach out to get help and to know
that there is support available. And, with at least 1 in 4 people struggling to cope at some point in their lives, we all know of someone close to us who has needed support or maybe you’ve experienced this yourself. 

Whether it has been depression and anxiety or an addiction, an eating disorder, PTSD, adult autism and ADHD, learning disabilities or dementia, The Devon Partnership NHS Trust is there to provide support for everyone in the community in every way possible.

Your donations will go a long way to helping them care for those in need with everything from essential therapy sessions to gardening and arts and crafts sessions or maybe just some company to a hospital appointment. With your donations the trust can fund these extra resources to help those struggling with their mental wellbeing to find peace and calm within the seemingly endless storm raging inside their minds.

So, please, if you can spare a few pennies, and maybe take a moment to share this story, then we can continue to raise awareness, to support friends, family and others within our community to weather those internal storms.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your support.
