Story

This was NOT on my bucket list. 

I can barely go on an escalator without feeling dizzy, I can't sit on the top deck of a bus, the thought of throwing myself out of a perfectly good plane has never appealed to me. BUT... when I was the "lucky" recipient of a tandem jump with the Red Devils prize, I decided to take myself completely and utterly out of my comfort zone and go for it. It was fate.

In June last year, our worlds were turned upside down with my father's diagnosis of cancer. We were and are absolutely devastated, but seeing the strength that Dad has shown, fighting it with everything he has, has made me want to step (or jump?) up and do something . 

Dad is currently being cared for at the Hospice, and thanks to their dedication and support, should be able to return home soon. The team at the Hospice have been the most incredible support to my parents and by helping them raise much needed funds, I will be able to say "thank you".

You really never know what is around the corner, and when you might need their help, so if you can spare a £ or two, I will forever be in your debt.

About the charity

The hospice costs £2.9 million to run, with Salisbury Hospice Charity aiming to raise £1.5 million of the funding required. Over 1,000 people a year are helped both in the hospice and in the wider community. Without your help this could not have been achieved. Thank you.
