Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well the time has come for me to take the jump! Not without fear, but with an abundance of love, superceding any anxieties. I am not doing it alone though, our Uncle John will be joining me in completing a tandem skydive on the 30th of June to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts, The Manda Centre. We will be jumping in Memory of my Dearly Loved Brother, Derek Johnston, who is missed every day, loved beyond measure and who's memory will live on through us.

The Manda Centre supports people who have experienced trauma, loss and personal crisis. For my Mum and I, they have been all that support and much, much more. There are no words that can truly describe the help this organisation has given us over the past few years. From that initial knock at the door, to navigating through a nonsensical world full of heartache, trauma and unfamiliarity, this organisation has been right by our side every step of the way. It has been an absolute lifeline. They shone a light within our darkness, to show us they were there. They held their hands out to support us, when we could barely lift ourselves up. They continue to stand beside us, helping us to carry on.

The Manda Centre is unique in the support they offer. Fundraising is pivotal in ensuring the survival of the services they offer. We would appreciate your donation to ensure the Manda Centre can continue to support those who unfortunately need to access their services. Without them, we honestly do not know where we would be.

My Mum and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donations.
