Story

So basically, the perfect storm of Liverpool beating Barcelona to reach the champions league final and far too much brandy resulted in me thinking it was a good idea to sign up for a skydive at 1am. At the time of this rash decision I didn't know that the skydive weight limit for a bloke was 95kg so not only did I volunteer to jump out of a plane at 10,000ft but I had to lose over a stone first for the privilege! 

Why TinyLife? 

On 3rd July 2015 Sebastian McCoy decided he couldn't wait any longer and entered our lives 6 weeks before he was meant to. He was born at 4lb 13oz in SWAH, Enniskillen and cared for wonderfully by the staff of the neonatal unit there for two and a half weeks. Having first hand experience of a premature baby, when as parents you feel at your most helpless and vulnerable, it's great to be able to give something back to a wonderful charity such as TinyLife who supports families through these most challenging of times. I

I now have 6 weeks to lose a stone but if losing a bit of weight and jumping out of a plane at 10,000ft can raise a few pounds to help these wee babies and their families just a wee bit then it will be well worth it #splat

So please dig deep, any contribution is much appreciated 😊

Thanks a million 

Gareth (101.2kg)
