In honor of our friend Gary Brown and everyone who has suffered with depression and lost too soon, all monies gratefully received, after we completed our skydive will go to Andys Man Club.

We are doing Tandem skydive on 6th August 2017 to raise awareness on mental health issues.. such as the stigma surrounding men who feel their unable to express their feelings or suicidal thoughts. We are hoping to raise £500 for #AndysManClub #itsoktotalk

Suicide is one of the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. An estimate of 4600 men every year decide to take their own life which has a devastating impact on loved ones that are left behind.

All funds will go directly to this chosen charity and the skydive has been paid out of our own pockets.
