Story

Hi, we are Keri and Jodie. We are raising funds to pay for a sky-dive in September to raise money to help a really worthy charity- Harry’s Rainbow. They started their charity, Harry’s Rainbow, in memory of Harry to raise money for children and young people in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas who have been bereaved of a parent or sibling. Statistics show in the Milton Keynes area alone, on average, 100 parents will die in one year, leaving 170 dependent children. We chose to support Harry's Rainbow as Keri is a close friend of Jess, Harry’s sister. When Harry was five years old, he suddenly passed away. The impact this had on Jess and her family was huge, and seeing how they cope with this each day is an inspiration.
Seeing the excellent work that Harry's Rainbow does for the community has inspired us to raise money for Harry's Rainbow so they can keep up their great endeavors in supporting those who are going through a difficult time.

We met this June while working at a summer camp in America. Fortunately, we got on very well and decided to travel around the states together after camp. To end our time in America, we wanted to do this skydive in Hawaii as we believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to challenge ourselves and do something that we've both always wanted to do while raising money for an amazing charity.
