In September, I will be completing a skydive 🪂 for Alzheimer’s Society. When I jump out that aeroplane ✈️  (firmly attached to a professional tandem skydiver!), I will be jumping for  those who, in the past or who currently, suffer from this cruel disease, and those who continue to support them. It slowly takes those you love to the point they don’t recognise their families and friends around them, who support them everyday. 

Frankly, it must be terrifying and I can’t imagine it. I can only continue to spend time with those around me and support in any way possible. In comparison, jumping out of a plane doesn’t seem too scary (although I’m sure I’ll feel slightly more apprehensive once I’m in the air! 😮)

My Grandpa has enjoyed flying for the best part of his life. I have many fond memories of being at my grandparents house after school, watching him landing the little Microlight plane after an afternoon flight in the sunshine. Whilst I never got to go up with him, and he doesn’t fly anymore, I hope I will be able to share some of the excitement of my skydive with him once I complete it.

So please do donate for this brilliant cause, and remember to add Gift Aid if you are able to. Every donation, large or small helps. 

Thank you for your support 😊
