Tandem Skydive - Lancaster, 17 October 2008

We fund life-changing and life-saving work to support cancer patients at The Christie

Story

In 2004 I was diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma in my leg, I was treated at Christie's young oncology unit and have been in remission since July 2005.

It was at Christies where I met Tom. In the time I have known Tom he has relapsed 3 times and each time has remained positive. He has now sadly been told he is terminal but yet he is still selflessly thinking of others by raising money for the Young Oncology Unit..  It is Tom's bravery that has inspired me to do a sponsored skydive in order to help him raise as much as possible.

So on the 9th November I will be doing a 10000 feet tandem skydive!! Please sponsor me whatever amount you can, large or small it still helps!!

Thank you!!
