Hi guys,  I'm Daniel from Newport South Wales, I'm a father of a beautiful 3 year old boy named  Parker & he is my world. As a parent I've noticed we take our children's health & well-being for granted not realising how fortunate they are compared to other children around the world. We wake up every day & go about our daily lives & not see the struggles that families & children are going through whilst most of us do nothing to help as we are totally oblivious.

On 15th August 2015 I tried to overcome my fear of heights by doing my first ever bungee jump which was 160ft, as I made my way to the jump I opened the door of my car & was retching to be sick on the side of the road. Whilst doing this I decided to raise money for a Newport lad named Michael Griffiths who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Doing this I raised around £400-£500 if my memory serves me right. It might not of been a lot but it all goes to a good cause. I'm still no better with heights by the way. :-(

So as a bid to help another child I'm doing a 400ft Bungee jump on 30th July in aid of a local little boy Oliver to allow him to have life changing Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery which is not currently funded by the NHS. 

 This is the highest bungee jump in the UK & I am PETRIFIED of heights by the way.

Oliver and his twin brother Thomas from Newport in Gwent were born prematurely in May 2014. Oliver was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy Spastic Diplegia at 18 months old after we realised he was not reaching his milestones.
Oliver is a fun, bright and inquisitive 3 year old who is desperate to join in with his brother’s games but the spastic diplegia is characterised by abnormal high tone in his leg muscles, which affects his muscle control, balance and co-ordination and makes simple things such as sitting and crawling difficult.
Oliver is not yet able to stand or walk independently. It is hoped that SDR surgery will remove or at least reduce the spasticity in his legs and give him a better quality of life. The money raised will pay for the surgery, specialised aftercare, intensive physiotherapy and any equipment he may need.
Our wish is for Oliver to be able to walk holding hands with Thomas, for them to chase each other in the park and ride their bikes together. Please help us give Oliver the chance he deserves.
Any donations will be greatly appreciated.
