Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
In 2013 Debbie's son Mackenzie was born 16 weeks prematurely, weighing 1lb 6oz. He underwent multiple surgeries two of which were life saving and spent 6 months in St Michaels NICU before coming home. Thanks to the fundraising by Cots for Tots he benefited directly from the amazing medical care, NEST transportation and life saving equipment. Debbie and her husband Richard also stayed in the Cots for Tots house. Mackenzie is now 6 years old and is a happy and energetic little man who lives life to the full. He particularly enjoys spending time with his best buddy Harry and mummy's very good friend 'Auntie' Detty!
Following the success and exhilarating experience of our fundraising tandem skydive in 2016 we decided it was time to be brave again and take part in a wing walk.
Originally planned for 13th April 2020 and postponed due to Covid-19, Debbie was able to reschedule for Sunday 20th September 2020 but unfortunately Detty was unable to do hers that day. This has now been arranged for Sunday 8 August (weather depending!).
Wingwalking definitely takes us outside of anything even remotely classed as comfort zone 😬😂. Stood on the wing, traveling at 135mph completing a 10 minute routine which potentially includes a full loop if feeling brave, so we need all the support we can muster!
Please help us to show our thanks and love to everyone involved in the amazing work at St Michael's NICU and Bristol Children's Hospital to raise money for this amazing Charity.
Thank you to everyone who has already sponsored and any final donations in the lead up to Detty's wingwalk will be gratefully received.
Debbie and Detty
