I've taken a leap...
On May 13, I’ll be jumping out of a plane to raise money for mental health charity Lancashire Mind - and I’m already on countdown!
I’ve wanted to skydive for as long as I can remember, but I do expect the nerves to kick in a little bit when the plane starts to go up!
When I turned 40 last year, I made a bit of a promise to myself that I’d make more of an effort to start crossing things off the bucket list, and this is a big one!
Signing up to support this worthy cause through a tandem skydive feels like literally, and metaphorically, leaping into the next chapter of my life.
Lancashire Mind does fantastic work in supporting people of all ages to build resilience and look after their mental health.
Sadly the charity has seen its fundraising income drop by 30 per cent based on the same period last year - at the same time as seeing an increase in demand for its services.
We’ve worked with them at Viva PR for a while and I feel so privileged to have landed a spot on that plane!
