Story

A friend of mine works for this hospice and it's been such a tough time during Covid for all charities that I jumped at the chance to do a sky dive to raise funds for this local hospice. It's something I've always wanted to do but equally always been too scared, so, at 55 years old, I've decided to bite the bullet and GO FOR IT! 

It's a way of giving back to the care industry after all they've done for so many recently, including members of my family.

The Hospice of St Francis helps over 2,000 local people who are managing, or recovering from, serious illness. We help them to live their life well by improving symptoms, working with them to achieve personal goals - helping them to feel safe - and anything from getting back to work, enjoying family time to walking the dogs again.
