Every day at St Wilfrid’s Hospice I see the difference compassionate care can make to people and their families during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Working there has shown me not only the incredible support the hospice provides, but also the strength, dignity and kindness shared by everyone involved.

That’s why I’ve decided to take on a skydive to raise money for this amazing charity.

For me, this is more than just a challenge or adrenaline rush. It’s a way of giving something back to a place that means a lot to me personally because 23 years ago they cared for my late gran (you can see her in the gallery on this page) . Every donation will help St Wilfrid’s Hospice continue providing specialist care, comfort and support to local people and their loved ones when they need it most.

Hospices rely heavily on charitable donations to keep providing these vital services, and seeing the work they do firsthand has made me realise just how important every contribution really is.

So, I’ll be stepping out of a plane and facing a huge personal challenge in the hope of raising as much money as possible for a cause that is incredibly close to my heart.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean a huge amount to me and to everyone supported by St Wilfrid’s Hospice.

Thank you so much for your support.
