I have a significant birthday in 2025 and I want to do something spectacular to celebrate. After overcoming health issues that could have limited my future, I am now fit and healthy enough to do something a bit mad - so along with one of my equally crazy friends, I’m throwing myself out of an aeroplane at 10,000 feet in the air!

I will be raising money for The Salvation Army’s Big Connection. The Salvation Army is a Christian Church & registered Charity working in 130 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.
