Story

I have always talked about doing a skydive and figured that I should do it before I turn 30 at the end of this year... So this summer I will be jumping (/pushed) out of a plane at 10,000 feet!

I've also worked in the charity sector for over 7 years hearing amazing stories of people much braver, fitter and stronger than me and asking them to do more, give more; it's only fair I take my turn! 

I never met Bryan because Alzheimer's took him away. I have seen the utter heartbreak that Alzheimer's causes and I want to do all I can to help Alzheimer's Society fight this awful condition and stop other people experiencing the same heartbreak. 

I'm paying for all the costs myself so every penny you can give will go straight to Alzheimer's society. 

Please, please help me do my part to fight Alzheimer's.

***UPDATE*** 

So on the 23rd May at Strathallan Airfield, I successfully completed my dive! Jumping from a Cessna held together with duct tape (not even kidding) at 10,200 ft over the stunning landscape of Scotland. I was so high I could see both Edinburgh and Glasgow! I would really really love to reach the £1000 mark so for those who wanted proof before they donated I've added some photos of the day.

THANK YOU to everyone for being so generous and supportive. I feel very loved indeed! :)
