This April I celebrate my 75th birthday. I have decided to mark the occasion by jumping out of an plane from 13,000 feet, hopefully attached to someone who knows what they are doing!! The date booked is Good Friday, April 18th. Joining me in this adventure will be my son Rob and eldest daughter Caroline. What better than a family skydive to celebrate my birthday!!

To put the cherry on the birthday cake I’ve decided to try and raise some money for charity and have chosen my local Hospice, Sue Ryder St Johns Hospice in Moggerhanger.

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with Sue Ryder's support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. They are there when it matters.
