On Sunday 14th June, I’ll be jumping out of a plane for The Evelina Heart Foundation.

This charity means more to our family than I can put into words, but I’ll try.

Our son Jacob was born with a large hole in his heart and needed surgery to have it closed with a device. Watching him be taken down to theatre was the scariest moment of our lives. No parent is ever ready for that.

But from the very first moment, the care given to Jacob, my wife, and me by the team at The Evelina Hospital was second to none. Their calm, skill, and compassion carried us through the hardest days we’ve ever faced. Knowing Jacob was in the best possible hands made all the difference.

Like most children, Jacob bounced back faster than we could have imagined. You genuinely wouldn’t know he’s had major heart surgery… apart from the fact he now has even more energy than before.

We will be forever grateful to everyone at The Evelina. This skydive is a small way of saying thank you and of helping them continue the incredible work they do for other families facing similar journeys.

If you’re able to donate or share this page, it would mean the world to us. ❤️

Thank you.
