Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am doing a sky dive to raise money for the Road Victims Trust in memory of my best friend, Lauren Danks. This charity helps to support families who have been affected by a fatal road traffic collusion. In November 2016, Lauren was killed on her way home from work by a drink driver. She was just 22 years old, beautiful and kind, with her whole life ahead of her. Her death has had a huge impact on me, along with her family who can't put into words the pain of losing her.

The RVT helped to support her family from the moment Lauren died by assigning a counsellor who visited them every single week for three years. They helped to guide them through it all, from the court case to answering many questions and to rebuild a new life together as a family. Something which may not have been possible without their counsellor.

Losing Lauren is something I've never been able to put into words, creating a loneliness I can't explain, but I hope by doing this I can do her proud by raising awareness for such an important charity and to help fund the support for another family like hers.

Thank you!
