This May I’m doing something that is going to scare the living daylights out of me, as I’m afraid of heights: Skydive all for Skcin!

Why? Well, 2 years ago I was given the news no-one wants to hear. I was diagnosed with Melanoma, a form of skin cancer, the fastest spreading cancer in UK.

I was lucky, as I was diagnosed early and had the cancer removed through 2 surgical procedures. I have had phenomenal support from friends & family and some very special professionals, so I want to give back by helping to raise awareness and also much needed funds to help beat this disease.

Close friends and family will know my big fear is heights and flying I am absolutely terrified, stories of me passing out at airports are well documented. So being the idiot I am I’ve decided to do a skydive with my old friend Phil.

I know there’s loads of requests from people to help support charities; so this is no great plea. If you can help by making a small donation then great, I will really appreciate it, if not then I’ll still share the video so that you can have a good laugh at my expense.
