Tim Phillips has been living with Motor Neurone for 10 years. To mark his 50th birthday, I am doing a skydive (on Friday 17th August) to raise money for both Motor Neurone Jersey and Jersey Hospice Care for all the great work and support they offer Tim, his family and all other patients in the island.

Before Tim was diagnosed with Motor Neurone, he used to horse ride and did a lot of show jumping. With this he would build new show jumps. Over the years, Tim has continued designing show jumps which are thankfully still being made thanks to the help of his multitalented nurses! All the jumps built in recent years have been given to local equestrian clubs giving us more of a challenge with Tim’s designs.

As a massive thank you and in honour of Tim’s 50th birthday, I would like to raise money for these great charities so they can continue to provide such care to their patients and go above and beyond their call of duty!
