Chris moved to the area of Stroud just over three years ago from the Peak District, Derbyshire in order to be with his partner of Six years. He is an ex Police Officer who served with Greater Manchester Police. Now 60 years old he did his first parachute jump at the age of 18 which was (static line) meaning the chute opens as soon as you leave the aircraft, ever since then he has wanted to freefall. The opportunity arose and Chris has funded a tandem skydive from 15,000ft (2.8 miles) up.

Having heard of Allsorts and the work we do with autistic children and adults he could think of no better cause to try and raise money for.

Chris has a history of autism in his family and has first hand knowledge of the work we do and how beneficial it can be and so he would be grateful of any contributions you may be able to make. He quotes “times are hard, but any contribution would be appreciated”. The jump will take place on 25th July this year at Old Sarum, Salisbury. The event is being filmed and we will post his efforts post jump. We thank you so much.
