I'm raising money for Solving Kids' Cancer UK. It's a charity that's pushing for a future where no child dies of neuroblastoma or suffers due to the treatment they receive. Neuroblastoma is a rare and aggressive childhood cancer that affects around 100 children in the UK each year.

They exist to provide vital support to children and families affected by neuroblastoma, drive innovative clinical research and raise awareness of the impact of childhood cancer.

Why Solving Kids Cancer UK?

Last year, a friend lost their son Alfred to neuroblastoma. I've put off writing this because I can't comprehend how difficult that must be. The family have been the most perfect example of how to support each other, raise awareness, and show positivity throughout the most impossible time.

Although I never met him, Alfred was an absolute soldier of joy and ambition, spreading smiles and teaching everyone around him – in person or through seeing what he got up to from afar, online.

Nobody should have to go through any element of this, and Solving Kids Cancer UK is doing everything they can to help support everyone affected throughout their battles with neuroblastoma.

What I'm doing to raise money

My family bought me a skydive for a recent birthday, but for a number of reasons I was over the weight limit in order to take part. This year I've started a weight loss journey and I wanted to make the effort worth it for more than just me.

In short, I'm losing weight so that I can jump out of a plane, all to raise money for charity.

Please give what you can to start this year off with the positivity and funding, giving more hope through life-saving research and support.
