In 2019, my son’s dad sadly lost his battle with mental health. His loss left a lasting impact on our lives and is something we carry with us.

As you can imagine, losing a parent at the young age of 8, this had a significant effect on my son’s own mental health and wellbeing. During some of our most difficult times, Mind provided support, guidance, and resources that helped him process his grief and emotions. Their work made a real difference when we needed it most.

To honour his memory and help others who may be struggling, I am taking on a skydive to raise funds for Mind on Monday 31st August 2026.

Mental health affects so many people and families, yet too many suffer in silence. Support, understanding, and access to the right help can make a real difference.

This challenge is deeply personal to me, and every donation will help Mind continue its vital work supporting those experiencing mental health difficulties. Thank you for helping me raise awareness, remember someone so loved, and support a cause that means so much to me.
