Marie Curie is here for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and those close to them. Whatever the illness, wherever you are, we’re with you to the end. We bring 75 years of experience and leading research to the care we give you at home, in our hospices and over the phone.

Story

On August 19th I will be hurling myself out of plane from a great height (10,000 feet to be precise), and hopefully parachuting safely back to earth. The skydive was originally a 21st birthday present from my family intended purely for "pleasure" and much as I'm sure I will have a lovely time up there, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to raise a little cash for charity.

 

As some of you will know, my good friend Heli's mum passed away earlier this year after a long and brave battle with cancer. Sue defied the odds for many years, and I know Heli and her family believe this would not have been possible without the tremendous support of Marie Curie Cancer Care. Sue was a caring, brave and inspiring person who is greatly missed by all that knew her, and I could not think of a more suitable cause to raise some money for.

 

If you could spare even a small amount of change it would be much appreciated by myself, Heli and family.

So here goes, taking the plunge from 10,000 feet...this one's for you Sue! xxx
