In 2015, I did a series of challenges to raise money for the charity "The Lullaby Trust" (formally FSID) in memory of my twin sister Isobel. 

I survived:

A SKYDIVE (AAAAAHHH!!!)

Why?

The Lullaby trust (http://www.lullabytrust.org.uk/) is a charity that provides specialist support for bereaved families, promotes expert advice on safer baby sleep and raises awareness on sudden infant death. I had a twin sister, Isobel, who died of cot death when we were very young, and so this charity means a lot to me.
