Story

Hello!

*Edit: date has been changed to 11th September, unfortunately an ear infection stopped us being able to do the original jump*

We are doing a skydive in St Andrews on the 4th July for Sands Charity, which supports bereaved parents of stillborn and neonatal deaths. This charity does truly amazing work, we are both afraid of heights so jumping from a plane at 10,000 feet is a real challenge. Please help us to raise as much a possible to help the affected family's ♥️

We are paying for the skydive ourselves, so all the money you donate is going to the charity! 

1 in every 250 pregnancies end in a still birth in the UK, that's 8 babies every day (Tommy's.org), additionally Neonatal deaths affect 1 in every 400 live births (isdscotland.org)

£10 donated provides a bereft family with a free family support pack, £20 donated provides a free memory box.

The Sands Charity  welcome over 1,400 newly bereaved parents each year. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.
