LEAPING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE (AND A PLANE!) FOR KEECH HOSPICE

Hi there,

I’m Alison, a fifty-something woman doing something I never thought I’d do at this stage in life — a skydive.

Yes, you read that right. I’ll be jumping out of a plane, plummeting towards the earth from 10,000+ feet… and I’m doing it for an absolutely incredible cause: Keech Hospice Care.

I am raising funds for Keech Hospice, a valued client organization that provides vital care and support to patients and their families during difficult times. Their work makes a real difference, and I want to help ensure they can continue offering this essential service.

They support adults and children with life-limiting illnesses and offer comfort to families when they need it most. Their care is holistic, personal, and full of heart — and they rely on donations to keep delivering it.

Being able to support Keech in this way is a privilege. Doing something totally outside of my comfort zone is my way of saying: you matter, and the work you do matters.

Why am I doing this? Because it scares me.

And if stepping (or falling!) far beyond my comfort zone can help raise awareness and vital funds, then I’m all in. Life’s too short not to do something bold for a good cause — even if it means white knuckles, nervous laughter, and a freefall!

I’ve set myself a fundraising goal of £500, and I’d love your support.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference to the patients and families Keech cares for.

Here’s how you can help:

• Donate whatever you can – it all adds up.

• Share this page with friends, family, and colleagues.

• Send some encouragement – I’ll definitely need it on the day!

Thank you for helping me support a truly wonderful organisation.

This jump might be scary – but the impact we can make together is huge.

With gratitude (and butterflies),

Alison x
