On the 14th of October 2025, I’ll be jumping out of a plane to raise money for Penumbra, a mental health charity that helped me during the most difficult time of my life.

In 2024, I went through an incredibly dark period with my mental health. I faced more personal challenges than I ever thought I would. There were moments when things felt completely overwhelming. It’s a time I never imagined I’d go through, or get through, but like many others out there, I did.

Penumbra was the first organisation that truly helped me. They didn’t just offer support, they helped get me back on my feet and gave me the tools I needed to begin moving forward. They got the boat sailing again when I felt completely lost and didn’t know who to turn to.

Now, I’m in a much better place. That’s why I’ve decided to take on this skydiving challenge, not just to push myself, but to give back to the people who helped me when I needed it most.

This jump is for hope. For healing. For anyone out there who feels like they’re alone; you’re not.

Please donate if you can. Every penny raised goes toward helping others who are still struggling. Penumbra changes lives. I know because they changed mine.

Thank you for your support 💙
