Braving Heights, Honouring Lives – Skydive for St Catherine’s

Adam Dennett is raising money for St Catherine's Hospice Preston

Jumping for Charity - 11,000 feet tandem skydive! · 18 October 2025

St Catherine’s cares for patients and families who are affected by life-shortening conditions, at the hospice and in people’s own homes across Chorley, Preston and South Ribble. Our specialist care helps people enjoy the best possible quality of life to the end of life.

Story

Hi, I’m Adam Dennett, Worshipful Master of Carnarvon Lodge No. 2376, Province of West Lancashire.

This year, I’ve chosen St Catherine’s Hospice as our lodge charity - a place close to my heart. They cared for my beloved grandad in his final months, giving him and our family support, dignity, and peace when it mattered most. He was a proud Freemason, and I know he’d be smiling at what I’m about to do…

Despite not being the best with heights (read: absolutely terrified!), I’ve signed up to throw myself out of a plane at 11,000 feet in a tandem skydive to raise vital funds for St Catherine’s.

It costs more than £5 million every year to run their services, and they rely on people like us to make sure those facing cancer, motor neurone disease, and other life-shortening conditions get the care they need -whether at the hospice or in their own homes.

I’m hoping to raise at least £1,000 to say thank you and support their incredible mission. Every donation - big or small - brings us closer to that goal and keeps this vital service available for our community.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to see a Worshipful Master fall from the sky (safely, I hope!), this is your chance! Please donate if you can, and help spread the word.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart - and from 11,000 feet above Lancashire!
