The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, we're doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are. To donate, volunteer, raise money or campaign with us, call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk

Story

What started out as a very theoretical conversation in the pub after our traditional Christmas curry with a couple of friends about things we'd like to tick off our bucket lists has suddenly become very real. On the 2nd April we will all be doing tandem skydives for the first time in Maidstone...

I really wish I could say it was a sense of adventure, or a wish to conquer one of my greatest fears that brought us to this point however unfortunately it was the really devastating news that Claire's cancer has returned. Macmillan has really helped her and the very least I can do is be there for her and help her give back.

Cancer charities will always have a special place in my heart after losing my father to the disease so I'm extra motivated to do this.

Any donation no matter how small will be so appreciated.

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.
