I may have already done the jump...and reached my target...but it all helps...and is only a small 'thank you' in the scheme of life. Please still add to the fund (you have until the end of June). Thanks!

You may or may not know me. You may have known Mum, or been a customer at their shop 'The Studio Gallery'...or know someone in my family! Someone who has, or needs to use the Oncology department at Ipswich hospital. Or you might just be a generous stranger! However we are connected, and for whatever the reason...I appreciate you taking the time to read my story and donating.

Our world turned upside down when my brother died in a car accident, and even more so for Mum. It triggered off cancer. For nearly 12 years she battled all it threw at her, enduring operations, treatments and all it's side effects. Over the years rearing it's ugly head at times in some form or another. Some days her mission was to just get up and dressed! Never did she complain, always saying 'there's always someone worse off than me...I'm up and I'm walking, that's the main thing'. Some days you would never have known the pain she really was in, always wearing a smile, looking amazing, and enjoying every moment she could.

One visit to the Hospital we noticed a poster up, 'Woolverstone Wish'. They hoped to refurbish the Chemotherapy outpatient clinics and day-unit in the Woolverstone Wing in the Hospital. Every visit we would read the events people had done in order to raise funds to try and reach their target of £800,000. One day, I sat with Mum, and told her I wanted to help them, as a thank you for all they have, and are doing for her. She faces her fears in battling cancer, so I'd face mine...heights...and do a skydive!! She turned and looked at me saying " It's very nice of you, but live your life for now. Don't worry about things like that just yet", she paused, then added "You normally do it in memory of". I knew it was her way of saying she had fight in her yet!

She knew I'd do it one day, when I knew the time was right. I turn 30 on 6th June, so what better time to do it!! I want you to help me celebrate the big '3...0' and support me in facing my fear by donating to a great fund. Any money that would normally be spent on a card, present, or even a pint..please put it in the fund!

It is booked to do on 7th June (In Beccles) - two and a half years since Mum lost her battle. I will be paying for the skydive myself so that ALL money donated will go to the Woolverstone Wish fund...don't forget to check their page out www.woolverstonewish.org.uk.....don't forget to come back to this page to donate!!

I have done many charity events in memory of Mum...but this is my ultimate one!! So please dig extra deep.... spread the word, share the page, to everyone and anyone!! Help me reach my target...and make it worth while me jumping!!
