On the 19th September I will be doing a 10,000ft Skydive to raise money for Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice.

Chestnut Tree House provides respite and specialist end of life care to children and young people across Sussex and South East Hampshire.

Our twin boys Rafferty and Caspian were born in July 2025.

Rafferty had a rare terminal condition diagnosed during pregnancy and we were therefore referred early to Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice.

Rafferty lived for 3 hours and 44mins and is survived by his twin brother Caspian and big sister Eliza.

Chestnut Tree House supported our family from before Rafferty was born until after he died and continue to do so to this day. Their bereavement staff visited us in hospital to create memory items, hand and foot casts and hand and foot prints with Rafferty for us to keep and we were fortunate enough to visit the hospice and see the incredible work that is done there day in and day out, and learn of the other outpatient services provided also.

Due to cuts in funding to charities, some of the outpatient support that Chestnut Tree offers is being reduced, meaning that families like ours and will not be able to receive the support that we had.

We would be really grateful if you are able to donate to such a worthy cause, every donation, no matter how small will help 🤍

Thank you in advance xx

**the cost of the skydive has been funded by ourselves therefore 100% of the donations will go straight to the charity.
