On the 15th of December 2021, we suddenly lost our beautiful daughter Jaysley, younger sister to Emilli and loving friend to so many.

She was only 19, with her whole life ahead of her.

It’s hard to put into words what that day did to us. It’s like the world tilted, and we’ve been trying to find our balance ever since.

The world became a much darker place as we lost someone who brought so much light, laughter, and joy into our lives.

To us, Jaysley is a belter, and that’s exactly how she will be remembered.

She was full of life, loud, loving, and completely one of a kind. Once you met Jaysley, you could never forget her.

She made us proud every single day.

Jaysley had been sexually assaulted and harassed while serving in the Army. She carried that pain quietly, trying to carry on, just like so many others do. She had reported it, and the outcome was nothing but an apology letter. She was failed by the very system that should have protected her and one that she dedicated herself to as the proud Soldier she was.

She’s no longer here to speak for herself. So we will. We are Jaysley’s voice.

Since her story became public, thousands of people have come forward with similar experiences and that breaks our hearts. It also shows us that Jaysley’s voice is still making a difference, but we are not finished.

On 30th August 2025, 25 of us, those who knew and loved her, will skydive in Jaysley’s name, in tribute to her courage, and the legacy she left behind.

Some of us are scared stiff, but that fear is nothing compared to what she went through and what others like her still go through. We’re doing this to show strength, raise our voices, and stand together for her, and for everyone who’s still carrying their story alone.

In doing this, we are raising money for the Centre for Military Justice, a charity that’s been with us from the very start. They’ve offered support, advice and strength, when we needed it the most. They believed in us. They continue to help families like ours find answers and hope.

We’ll keep going for her, and for everyone else still carrying something too heavy on their own.

We all carry something. Let’s carry it together.

Because this isn’t just about remembering Jaysley. It’s about making sure no one else is forgotten. No one else is left to suffer in silence.

If you’ve taken the time to read this and learn about Jaysley, thank you. That’s all we’ve ever wanted: for her voice to be heard, and for her story to carry.

Jaysley was a proud young soldier, who brought so much love, laughter and energy into the world. She deserved so much more!

Please help us keep her voice alive. Donate if you can. Share if you will.

Thank you!
