Story

I am taking part in Edward’s Trust charity Wing Walk.

On Thursday 24th July 2025 I will take to the skies on the top wing of a Boeing Stearman biplane, and I am raising funds to help Edward’s Trust continue supporting bereaved parents, children and young people across the West Midlands.

I’m taking to the skies in memory of three beautiful souls, my lifelong best friends, who I miss more than words can say:

✨ Ally Wright – My brother from another mother. A true PE2 legend.

✨ Jonny Bickers – My adopted brother. Once he took you in, you were a friend for life.

✨ Kevin McSwiggan – My brother. A worldwide legend whose friendships stretched across the globe, especially in PE2, where his spirit and connections still shine.

Losing them has broken my heart, but not destroyed it — because I’ll never stop keeping their names alive.

Every year, Edward’s Trust supports around 700 families who are navigating the devastating impact of bereavement. It costs approximately £600,000 annually to fund the range of vital services we provide, from counselling and well-being therapies to support groups, all free of charge and with no time limits.

Without government funding, Edward’s Trust rely entirely on the generosity of supporters like me and you. Every donation you give directly helps bereaved families rebuild their lives and find hope for the future.

Thank you for your support.
