On Friday 1 May 2020 I am
skydiving with a team of colleagues from Harrow Community Services.

We will be jumping out of a
plane at 10,000ft and freefalling at up to 200kmph!

We are doing this challenge
in support of local people with a terminal illness who need the support of
Pembridge Hospice, based by Ladbroke Grove.

The hospice team care for
people at home and at the hospice, helping families to make the most of the
time they have.

How your donation will help

In the words of Pembridge patients and staff:

"Our work is about supporting independence and dignity with the activities that matter to people.

For some people the important things is getting to the toilet on time without their family having to help. Others want to make a meal, paint a picture or just get help coping with their breathlessness.

I recently visited a young lady whose final wish was to attend a show with her family. She was incredibly weak and needed support to enable the trip. The standard theatre seating wouldn't suit her needs, so I spoke with the venue to secure a wheelchair-accessible box. I also arranged for the hospice to loan her a special tilt-in-space wheelchair so she could attend in comfort, on what ended up being their final outing as a family."
- Mike Griffin, Occupational Therapist



"After falling at home in 2012 I was only able to move around in a wheelchair. I felt so limited.

The rehab team started working with me in 2015 and got me walking again. It was fab and I was on a high! What an incredible feeling to walk again."

- Carol, patient from Kensal Rise

This jump is dedicated to all the people I have lost in my life, relatives and friends  and to all the survivors and the ones currently battling diseases, we are all in it together. Keep Strong!!!!
