Story

A team of volunteers, from across the country  will all be jumping on or around the 11th April which is World Parkinsons Day. The team name is "Parkies Angels."

On the 8th April 2022 I will be completing my tandem sky dive for the first time from over 10,000 feet reaching speeds of up to 120 miles an hour. The jump will take place at Sibson Airfield near Wansford. 

We will arrive there at around 08.30 and could be jumping, weather permitting at any time during the day. Please feel free to come and support if you wish.

I didn't realise at first but I will be jumping without a parachute......hopefully the person I am connected to will be able to deploy theirs safely.

There will be a small group there on the day including Michelle, my cousin's wife who is a Parkinsons sufferer herself, and her step daughter Charlotte.


Please contribute as much as you can in the knowledge that all money raised is going towards the building of a dedicated care unit for those suffering from Parkinsons


Thank you!
