Turning 40 is a privilege not given to all. I know only too well how people can be taken from us too soon.

Jumping out of a plane is my biggest fear and something that I've said I would NEVER do. But, as I've reached my 40th year and with 3 children of my own, I've come to see the incredible bravery and strength of children and families who face unimaginable heartbreak and challenges every day.

So, I've decided to face my fear head on and raise money for the incredible work done by Julia's House. They provide frequent, flexible care for children with life-limited or life-threatening conditions to give their parents a much-needed break.

I would hugely appreciate any kind donation you can offer to help make a difference to this magnificent cause.
