Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year my Grandad was diagnosed with Alzheimers. Since the diagnosis, he has been attending Butterflies who have been a great support to both my Grandad and Granny.

As I turn 18 on 14th April, I decided I would like to do a skydive. Providing a great opportunity to fundraise for this fantastic cause and to force my long-suffering dad to join me in jumping out of a plane!

Thanks, Josh

Unfortunately we've had to postpone the skydive due to Covid-19 - we have currently rebooked this for 25th April, but I imagine this too will need to be delayed. I'll keep you updated via this page :)

It looks like we are now on! All booked for 25th July!!

Postponed again 😒 but only by a day due to weather. Now booked in for 26th July!

And postponed again, and again - now due to jump on 6th September

Finally - the weather gods were kind to us :) We got to do the jump - fantastic!! 

Thanks to everyone who has donated :)

About the charity

Our ethos is “There is life after a diagnosis of dementia”. We aim to support families and find ways of encouraging those with dementia, and those caring for them, to recognise and use the skills that remain for as long as possible, not highlight and dwell upon those that are lost.
