This year at the beginning of August (date to be confirmed)I will be taking to the skies to do a Leap of Love skydive for Sands!

On the 29th December 2022 our lives changed forever when we found out that our little boys heart had stopped beating.On the 1st of January 2023 just 27days off his due date James Buckey Kearney was born sleeping - he was perfect in every way!

Friends and family who have done a skydive before have asked me if I would ever do one- my reply was always “I would but it would have to be for charity”.

SANDS has help me and continues to help me navigate this new world that I live in without my son.
