Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We all struggle daily with our mental health and more recently, so has my husband but we have family members and close friends who also struggle.  And it's a constant uphill battle....

....so I thought I'd jump out of a little plane - FIVE TIMES...to raise awareness for self-care and care of others.

Just because I'm not afraid of heights or small spaces or hurling myself out of a plane doesn't mean to say this feat doesn't come with it's own challenges.  First, there's my personal fitness - I need stamina and a strong core and hip muscles to hold up my legs high during the final descent.  I need to manage the adrenalin rush and crash - 5 times - so I don't feel sick or dizzy!  Lastly, there's the Scottish weather....but there's not much I can do about that apart from cross everything for good luck!!

Having done a tandem skydive over Melbourne beach in Australia....and LOVED IT....I knew one jump wasn't going to be a challenge!  I celebrated my 50th birthday in February this year so I thought why not do one jump for every decade and make this year truly EPIC!!!

Thank you for reading my story and for sponsoring me!
