Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune condition in which there is an increased tendency for the blood to clot. The condition can cause strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary emboli and DVTs. In pregnancy, APS is a leading cause of recurrent miscarriage and stillbirth.

Story

My colleague Paul and I have decided to jump out of a plane and thought we’d use the opportunity to raise money for APS Support UK. Details on what APS is below but we’ve chosen this charity due to Paul’s daughter having been diagnosed with the condition.

The skydive itself is already paid for out of our own pockets so any money you donate will go to the charity. 13th October is the date 😬

APS is a little known autoimmune disease that has huge ramifications on those effected. Amber will be on blood thinners her whole life in order to mitigate the ever present threat of blood clots forming. The hope is that, through research funded by your generosity, there will be a breakthrough in new treatments.

By donating through JustGiving, you can help provide vital resources and support to those in need. Together, we can make a positive impact and bring hope to individuals and families facing the challenges of APS. Join me in this exhilarating journey towards making a difference!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
