I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

My Updates

Its completed

Having had some time to reflect, I finally completed the jump. It was something I never thought I would do but I would happily do it again! I can’t explain the feeling of falling out and free falling but I was something special!

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who donated, shared or contributed in any way. Every donation will be used to fund critical work to those suffering with Pancreatic Cancer. I know that the big man was looking down thinking what a crazy person I was but I know he would be proud. I miss you more than you’ll ever know!

Thank you so much everyone again!

Finally... A new date!!

So after yet another lockdown... we finally have a new date! Saturday the 29th May! 
Im so excited to finally challenge myself to do this and to raise money for such an important charity to me and my family.

I know your probably watching over me big man and thinking im a fool for throwing myself out of a plane but its all for the best cause. I miss you more than you'll ever know.

Any donations or shares are much appreciated.

Another date set...

The date is set again. COVID has been a serious factor in the delay of my jump but we have another date. The date will be 13/02/20. It has really hit me the last few months on reflection how mad what im going to be doing for someone who hates heights. 
COvid has been tough on everyone, specially people with Pancreatic Cancer. Ive been over whelmed by all the support but it would be amazing as we have extra time to raise the bar and try and hit £2000.

Please keep liking and sharing and even donating if possible. Rather than Christmas cards this year id would rather a donation to the jump, even if its a small amount. Thank you all. I have attached a photo of the main man to keep me going in this tough time.

The date is set!

Finally got the date for my jump. 28th August. It’s kicking in now that I’m actually doing this. Pretty nervous about it but keeping the cause and the people who donated on my mind and I can’t forget the big man. Hope your looking down on me Grandad and will be watching on Friday. Miss you more everyday. Will keep everyone posted. I’m already thinking about the next thing I can do

The grand total

I’m so happy to say I’ve hit £1500!! I’ve been blown away by the support and can’t thank everyone enough! Please feel free to keep sharing and donating as every little bit helps

Tough times

With the current situation in the world it’s been a very hard time for us all. However I keep trying to be positive and grow as a person. I just wanted to thank everyone for donating to my skydive. Seeing the list of people who have kindly donated keeps me going in tough times. If anybody could share my page or anything I would greatly appericate in these tough times. Stay safe everyone. I know the big man up there is watching us all. Miss you big man

£1000!!!!

We are smashing it!! We finally hit over a £1000 and I couldn't be more thankful for every single person who has donated or shared the page. It's crazy how much support I'm getting for this and I know the big man would be loving it.

It still hasn't really kicked in that in June I'll actually be going up in the plane to jump out. I'm very excited yet bricking it! 

Smashing it!

Can't thank everyone who had donated, liked or shared the page. Progress is still going well. It's all starting to kick in despite it being a few months away! Really want to hit that £750 mark and try to get as close to £1000 as we can!

We did it!!!

After posting my progress in a group on Facebook a very kind lady donated and we have hit the £500 mark!! I'm so humbled and want to thank everyone!! Now to raise it!!!

7/01/20

Overwhelmed by the surpport so far! Can't believe we have nearly reached the full target. Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared. I'm looking to put it out on my works Facebook page so fingers crossed we smash the target
