Story

Thank you so much for visiting my page.

Last year, my son Noah and I abseiled down the 262ft ArcelorMitall Orbit to support the St John’s Hospice. Given my fear of heights, this was no mean feat.  

This year, we will be taking things to new heights… with a skydive on June 15th!

This 5000ft tandem jump at 120mph is far beyond my comfort zone, but I am taking on this challenge to continue raising critical funds and awareness for the St John’s Hospice.  Supporting families is at the heart of what this incredible centre does best. They looked after my dear friend Bernie with extraordinary care and compassion, making her final days comfortable and peaceful.  It is an experience that has inspired me to give back and ensure that others in similar circumstances can receive the same level of care and support.

Bernie spent over 20 years raising funds for the hospice which she called home. I’m proud to continue her legacy. Every pound and penny which Noah and I raise will support the St John’s Hospice directly, enabling them to reach more people and bring comfort, dignity, and immeasurable care for those most in need.

Thank you for your support.
