On Friday 10 July, we are taking part in the Skydive for Stephen. Before he died, Stephen Sutton MBE had set his heart on breaking the record for the most number of tandem skydives in one day. Though he had worked with Hibaldstow Airfield to achieve this feat, unfortunately Stephen wasn’t able to make it a reality in the time he had left.

Inspired by Stephen and at the request of his family, Teenage Cancer Trust are organising a world-record breaking skydiving event this summer and we am getting involved as part of Team Boogie. Team Boogie is Adam Slack (The Struts), Ben Husted and Clare Maxwell (Raw Power Management), Dan Flint (You Me At Six), Elyar Fox, Matt Donnelly and Rob Damiani (Don Broco) and Jen Walker (Teenage Cancer Trust).

Individually we have all been big supporters of Teenage Cancer Trust for some time but now we are all joining forces to form Team Boogie. Between us we hope to raise at least £5,000 but we need your help. Every single penny will go towards helping teenagers and young adults with cancer throughout the UK.

…and why ‘Team Boogie’? A boogie is a gathering of skydivers for a single purpose (skydiving), focused on fun rather than competition. Fact of the day!
