So… I’m jumping out of a plane. Not because I’ve lost it, but because my team and I are skydiving to raise money for DENS, a local charity that gives people a hand when they’re going through a rough patch.

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie – I love adventures and I’m always up for a challenge. So, this felt like the perfect way to push myself while supporting a cause that makes a real difference in our community.

To keep things interesting, we’ve set a few “milestones”:

• At £250 – we give back some time and volunteer for DENS.

• At £350 – we do the skydive in a fancy dress (chosen by a company poll).

• At £500 – our target – we’ll also run a 5K in costume a week after.

• At £1000 (group level target) – Naveed Sheikh, who is absolutely terrified of heights, will be dragged on the plane with us.

So if you fancy supporting a great cause and want to see us humiliate ourselves in fancy dress while jumping/falling/running, please donate. Every bit really does help DENS, and it’ll definitely make our pain your entertainment.

We're jumping with North London Skydiving Centre!
