Story

Myself, cousin Mark and boss Steve Greenwood are fundraising for SWAN by taking the plunge and taking part in a skydive. SWAN UK support families and children affected by undiagnosed syndromes or syndromes without a name.



I have a beautiful little girl called Bella who is 6 months old who is currently undiagnosed. Her main difficulties are feeding and weight gain. She is a tiny 11lb at 6 months old and is tube feed. They believe there it is genetic or chromosome syndrome, but as of yet has not be diagnosed and could never be diagnosed. Apart from feeding and slow weight gain she is a happy and healthy baby, this is not the case for all families and charities such as SWAN are vital in supporting these families .

So myself, Mark and Steve are taking up the challenge to Skydive to raise money to help this charity to continue there work in supporting these families. We are aiming for July/August to complete the skydive so there is plenty of time to reach our target of £1000 and will update everyone on dates and times for when the Skydive will take place.
