Mick will be jumping out of a plane solo this summer- to raise funds for him and Patrick to participate in the Mellon Educate Blitz to build a school in South Africa this year.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mick and our son Patrick will be heading to South Africa to build a school in an area of disadvantage. (This trip was due to take place in 2024, but due to the unexpected death of Mick's Mum, the lads have deferred their trip - all funds raised have been donated to Mellon Educate for safe keeping)

Patrick is Autistic and for a long time he wasn't able to go to school, as he didn't 'fit' the school model. We are so grateful that now he does go to school, where he absolutely thrives. Mick and Patrick want to be part of giving that gift of education to other children facing disadvantage, and also bolstering Patrick's self esteem to be part of something so important.

To prove his commitment to raising funds for this event, Mick will be throwing himself out of a plane - solo!
