Story

Writing this down seems almost as hard as having to go through what we all are right now. It's hard to find the words to do the situation we are in justice.


A week before Christmas, following a few routine tests, we were dealt the devastating news that our beautiful, selfless mum has terminal bowel cancer.
There arent any words that accurately describe how our hearts broke that day and every day that has followed since.
The cancer had already spread to her liver and lungs, making it untreatable.
The strongest woman I have ever known is now undergoing palliative chemotherapy at home to prolong her life.

Feeling the most helpless that I've ever felt, being unable to change what is happening, I needed to do something, anything to help anyone going through what my family is going through. So I sat and thought long and hard. Then it dawned on me. My mum spent most of my teenage years wanting to throw me out of an aeroplane for being a right pain in the arse. So it only seems right that I chuck myself out of one now to raise money in honour of her, for McMillan.

My mum has supported and cared for so many of you aswell as her family over the years. Nows the time to support her, so please, if you can, donate anything you can. I know lots of you would pay good money to see me plummet from a plane, so dig deep 😉

Thanks in advance from me, my dad Kev, my sisters Laura and Charlotte but most importantly, Jayne, my incredibly strong and beautiful mum xxx

Hi all we have finally been given a date for the skydive new date is now 30th April 2022,
My story has changed a lot from when I set the page up for the skydive, unfortunately we have now lost the queen of our family. My mum jayne Marshall sadly past away on 1st may 2020 after giving her all and battling cancer. I will now be doing the skydive in her memory.
