Story

As the founder of Ecrebo, a retail technology company based in central Reading, homelessness is sadly an all too familiar sight on our streets. I’m lucky enough to have a wonderful home life, with a fantastic family, and access to shelter, electricity and running water. But I know not everyone is as lucky as I am. That’s why I’ve decided to do a 10,000 feet tandem parachute jump in aid of Launchpad, a local homelessness prevention charity that helps some of Reading’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged people turn their lives around and fulfil their potential.

I’ll be facing my fears on an airfield in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on Saturday 31st August, so please support me by donating whatever you can to this fantastic charity. Launchpad helped over 1,400 people in Reading to get back on their feet in 2018, and with your donation, I’d love to help them beat that number in 2019.

Update: 
Sadly, my skydive was postponed due to poor weather, but never fear, I've rescheduled and will now be jumping on Friday 13th September.
