Story

Earlier this year we lost a very close friend and loving boyfriend in Chris Taylor. Chris was an incredible guy, who was loved by everyone and was an incredible friend, brother and son. He seemed to instantly become friends with everyone he met and no matter what the situation Chris always had a positive attitude.

It is with this same attitude that myself and Jess have decided to ‘take the plunge’ and jump out of a moving plane, in loving memory of Chris. We will be doing a charity Skydive on July 18th, in hope of raising money for the Elena Baltacha Foundation. This foundation helps kids from all backgrounds get into Tennis by offering free tennis coaching and facilities. As a Tennis coach and a captain for one of Bath’s Tennis Teams, this is a charity which Chris would have whole heartedly supported, and its our pleasure to be able to raise money for a charity that encourages kids to get into the sport Chris dedicated his life towards.

We would be extremely grateful for any donations.

Many, Many thanks, Alex and Jess xx

About the charity

Before her death in May 2014, Elena Baltacha set up her charity with one goal - to give more children, from all backgrounds, the opportunity to learn to play tennis. The Elena Baltacha Foundation is committed to making sure Elena's work continues and that we keep enriching kids' lives through sport.
