On Monday 29th June, 2026, I am doing the UK's highest skydive, taking a leap of faith and jumping 15000 ft to raise funds for YAS Charity in the memory of Mel Hanson.

Help me reach my fundraising target, every donation makes a huge difference, and can help save a life. As a volunteer community first responder for YAS, I am taking the plunge - literally - to support the YAS Charity and their great work in our local communities. I am also dedicating this jump to Mel Hanson, who we sadly lost last year, and who is the reason I decided to become a CFR. Any donations are very much appreciated and will allow the charity to deliver training, equipment and support to staff and volunteers across Yorkshire.

YAS charity help to support Yorkshire Ambulance Service staff and volunteers, by promoting good physical and mental health. In addition they also help to support communities, teaching thousands of people CPR and first aid skills, part-funding Community Public Access Defibrillators in communities across the Yorkshire region and delivering initiatives that help improve the lives of vulnerable people and reduce health inequalities.

The money raised will make a real difference to people and communities across Yorkshire.
