Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since I can remember I have always wanted to do a skydive. My beloved wife always said "no... It's too dangerous, the day I let you is the day I stop loving you" she has now agreed to let me do it at my children's suggestion for my big 50th. This concerned me a little giving her previous comments but since my daughter joined Canine Partners and we have learnt what incredible work Canine Partners do, my wife was more than happy to help me reach a life long ambition whilst trying to raise even just a little bit of money to help change someone's life. 

For those of you who don't know Canine Partners are a charity that train dogs to become assistance dogs and help make the lives of those with a physical disability just that bit better. This can be from giving someone more independence in the home by helping remove the washing, taking clothes off before bed thus reducing the need of a late night carer, picking up dropped items, collecting the phone in an emergency, helping pick items off a super market self or simply providing someone with the confidence to go out more. 

This is an incredible opportunity for all to help raise awareness and money for this brilliant cause who also work closely with Help for Heroes - another brilliant charity who I also proudly support.

Please help me in trying to improve someone's life, it could be anyone of us they help with conditions such as MS, strokes or injuries from crashes or war.


Thanks

Geoff
