Roisin's 15,000 ft Skydive for CAFt

Roisin Boles is raising money for Lourdes Children and Families Trust

15,000ft Skydive · 9 December 2025

The Lourdes Children & Families Trust has over 10 years’ experience of supporting families to enjoy pilgrimage holidays to the Catholic Marian Shrine of Lourdes, South West France. They prioritise the support of families with special needs and enable them to travel as part of a pilgrimage community of families to ensure that we create memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

Story

A few days ago, while volunteering in Fiji, I suddenly decided, “You know what would really add to this trip? Plummeting towards the earth at high speed.”

Is that brave?

Is that adventurous?

Or am I just… mad?

(Answers on a postcard.)

So… on 9th December, in New Zealand, I’ll be jumping out of a plane from 15,000ft with 1 minute of freefall before hopefully the parachute kicks in.

But there is a reason behind the madness.

I’m doing this to raise money for CAFt (Children’s and Families Trust). They support children, young people, and families — including those with disabilities — by giving them the chance to travel to Lourdes and create amazing, lifelong memories together.

So while I’ll be plummeting through the sky questioning my life decisions, your donations will be doing something genuinely meaningful.

If you can spare anything — a pound, or even just a laugh at my expense — I’d be hugely grateful.

Thank you 💙
