Hi, I'm Rose Tallon, and at the age of 71 years young, I'm taking on a charity skydive to raise money for St Luke's Hospice (Harrow & Brent).

I have spent 50 years working in nursing, education, and health and social care, and for the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of being part of the multidisciplinary palliative care team at St Luke's Hospice.

I care for patients with complex symptoms and those approaching end of life, helping them stay as comfortable as possible while preserving their dignity. I love my job, being able to support people through such an important stage of life.

By taking on this challenge, I hope not only to raise a lot of money for St Luke's but to inspire others to do the same.
