I wasn’t planning to jump out of a plane—but when I was asked last minute to step in and hold Aidan’s hand for the skydive, I thought… why not?

The Beatson isn’t just a hospital. It’s a lifeline. It’s where hope is restored when everything feels uncertain. They offer world-class cancer care with compassion, warmth, and an unwavering commitment to making each day a little brighter for patients and their families.

Cancer affects far too many of us—our friends, our loved ones, sometimes even ourselves. The Beatson Cancer Charity stands beside people during some of the toughest moments of their lives, and the impact of their work is profound.

I’m raising money to support that work—specifically, the Teenage and Young Adult with Cancer fund. This initiative helps young people navigate a diagnosis that can feel overwhelming, offering tailored support when it’s needed most.

Jumping out of a perfectly good plane might sound a bit mad… but if it helps raise funds for a cause this meaningful, then every second of fear (and every gust of wind!) is absolutely worth it.

We are grateful for any support you can provide as we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of TYA patients. Your generosity will help us reach our fundraising goal of £5,000 for this important cause. Any funds raised will go directly to the TYA patient fund.
