Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On Saturday May 21st this year I carried out a charity skydive for my longtime friend Pepita-Louise.
I met Pepi when we were about 9 years old (back in the eclectic 80's) and we had loads of fun playing together in the woods near my parents’ home in Portslade, East Sussex.
As is often the case, we lost contact over the years growing up, but since the turn of the century we've never been more than an eMail or a Facebook status away.
Like many of her close friends and family, I was extremely sad to hear that Pepi had been diagnosed with Myeloma - an incurable cancer that so few people seem to know much about. But what admiration we've all had for her spirit and incredibly optimistic approach to this burden she's had to bear and fight.
Pepi is truly an inspiration to anyone who has had this form of cancer, and I know she has offered support to many others along the way.
The least I could do, as one of her oldest friends, was to help raise some awareness and funds for this worthy charity. So many people helped me to achieve this goal, and I cant thank them enough!
