As many of you know I lost my beautiful Mum nearly 2 years ago to suicide after she sadly lost her battle with ongoing depression and anxiety issues. My family and I are not alone in our battles with this tabooed illness and it's so distressing that there are thousands of sufferers out there not getting the help they need and deserve.

I've been meaning to do something to raise funds for Mind for quite a while, a charity close to me and my family hearts as they did their best to support Mum throughout her battle. A skydive has also been on my bucket list for endless years since not being able to afford to do one while traveling so combining the two was a no brainer. Nothing I can do will bring Mum back but if I can do even just the teency bit, not only to help those suffering but to also help family members avoid the daily struggle I now have, to live a life without her, then that is more worthwhile to me than anything and I know I'd have made her proud. 

The weekend of the jump will be just before the 2nd anniversary of Mum's death and I couldn't think of a more poignant way to pay tribute to my much loved and heartbreakingly missed, best friend. I love you Mumma. RIP.

If you can spare anything at all, it'll be going to such a worthwhile and undervalued cause and I couldn't appreciate your support enough. Thank you.
