Diabetes UK is the charity leading the fight against the UK's devastating and fastest growing health crisis, working to create a world where diabetes can do no harm. It’s a fight that involves all of us – sharing knowledge and taking diabetes on together. Join us.

Story

💥 We’re Jumping Out of a Plane for Diabetes UK (And We May Not Cry) 💥

The pic above is an AI picture of what I think we may look like lol!

Hi friends, family, and anyone who’s ever wanted to see us mildly suffer for a good cause,

We’re Ryan Barnett, Danny Hewlett, and Matthew White – three heroes (or at least moderately brave fools) about to willingly hurl ourselves out of a perfectly working plane to raise money for Diabetes UK!

Meet the not-so-elite team:

Ryan Barnett – The fearless ringleader (except for a paralysing fear of wasps). He came up with this wild idea and somehow convinced the others with sheer enthusiasm and possibly snacks.

Danny Hewlett – Afraid of being stuck with his brother in laws for long periods of time so is prepared at 12,000 feet to jump out the plane to get away.

Matthew White – Terrified of heights. He once got nervous standing on a stool. But he's doing this jump and may not cry. No promises, just optimism.

So why are we doing this? Because Diabetes UK is an incredible charity supporting millions of people across the UK affected by diabetes – and we want to help make a difference (while screaming on the way down).

How you can help:

Donate whatever you can – whether it’s the cost of your morning coffee or something wildly generous like your holiday fund. Every single pound helps us reach our goal, support life-changing research, and possibly fund the parachute we’re counting on.

💸 Smash that donate button like we’re about to smash into the earth (gently, we hope).

🚁 Every donation helps us fly high (and then fall fast) for a great cause.

Thanks so much for your support – and for laughing with us (not at us) on this adventure.

Love,

Ryan, Danny & Matthew (a.k.a. The Reluctant Skydivers)
