This October would have been Ash’s 50th birthday, and for a long time I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted to mark such a special milestone.

I know Ash would have wanted to celebrate with the people he loved — probably with a big family and friends party, plenty of laughter, dancing - knee slides 🦵 and a few drinks!

But after a lot of thought, I decided I wanted to do something a little different… so I’m going to throw myself out of a plane!

Yes, I’m doing a parachute jump — something that is VERY far outside my comfort zone, but something that feels like a fitting way to mark Ash’s 50th and do something meaningful at the same time.

I’ll be raising money for Nelson’s Journey, a charity that was there for our boys when they needed support following the loss of their dad. The help they gave them meant so much to us, and it feels really special to be able to give something back.

So, in memory of my Ash, for his 50th birthday, and for a charity that holds a very special place in our hearts — I’m taking a deep breath, jumping out of a plane and hoping I remember to pull the parachute! 😂

Please sponsor me, all donations would mean so much to me and the boys.

And Happy Birthday Ash! Your 50th, I wish you were here to celebrate it with us all (then I wouldn’t be jumping out of a plane !)

Always loved so much and always remembered ♥️.
