Story

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to visit this page!

My name is Florence and I recently turned 16. For my sweet 16th birthday, I wanted to set myself a goal and do something to give back.

In September 2022, my Grandpa had a stroke, which completely turned his and my Grandma's lives upside down. Due to being in full time education and living on opposite ends of the country, this made it very difficult for me to support them.

Since doing some research, I have learned that 100,000 people in the UK have a stroke every year.

So, I decided this year that I wanted to do something to support a charity that helps people in a similar situation to my Grandpa. To do this, I have decided to combine a good deed with a bucket list goal of mine and do a skydive to raise money for Stroke Association.

Any donation you could give would be very much appreciated by the charity and myself, however I am completely aware that times are very tough at the moment and if you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page with your friends and family.
