Story

This year on the 23rd August, I will be doing a 14,000ft skydive in memory of my Auntie Sue, who would have turned 60 on the 22nd April this year.

Sadly she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer in October 2021, she underwent surgery on the 1st November 2021 but sadly lost her battle on the 24th February 2022.

Despite her continuous requests with her GP for an examination and referral for her symptoms, this was never done. In result of this, she could not undergo chemotherapy due to how poorly she was.

Sue was the sort of person who would do anything for anyone and loved baking and being with her family and friends. She made the best rocky road!

Her smile and contagious laugh lit up any room she entered, and she is missed so much by us all.

The weekend I am completing this is also special as it would have been my Grandad Tom's 86th birthday on the 25th August.

The charity is very close to my family’s heart and any donations are hugely appreciated!!
