Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Just so you know all of that ^ is kind of a formality so I should probably leave it there. 

This goes without saying that random seriously doesn't describe me! However, what is life without a little variety?! Like any other child who saw their parent as a hero, my mother was mine. She battled breast cancer for only three years, but unfortuntely that battle was lost in 2008 however her legacy will always live on in my heart.

So my main reason is to show that fear is nothing! My mother had cancer for three years but she still had three kids to look after and a family to maintain. I never once picked up fear in her eyes, neither did my sisters, not through the treatments, the hair loss, the job loss, the vomiting, and everything inbetween. 

She gave us reason not to be scared for her, and now four years later she continues to be my motivation, her spirit is still alive in us so I thought I have to give back.

I watched my aunt suffer through cancer as well and she never stopped smiling, she came through it.

So through all of that my fear of heights should account for nothing so skydiving should be nothing then! :)
