Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Most of you will know that i have a special Angel called leonie who was born on 13th January 1991 and sadly passed away from a brain tumour on 20th December 1999. This parachute jump is in her memory and to keep the legacy of what she believed alive. Simply to put others first.

Leonie taught me so much through her short life,she was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 8. Whilst my world felt like it was coming to a standstill,leonie carried on with her laughing and thinking of others. Her great love was her faith that she never let go of and her amazing gift of being able to make all those around her smile.

She had intensive treatment for her tumour,and all the way through this difficult time her prominent smile was always to be seen. I could write you a book on this amazing little Angel,but i want to just keep this simple how she would have wanted.

On 28th August 2011 i am jumping from 10,000 feet in the memory of this very special little girl,in the hope to raise money for her charity. The charity that helped us deal with ther finacial loss when myself and my husband took a year off to nurse leonie at home so she could pass on surrounded by the peace and love of her family. Sargent helped us then,and i would dearly love to repay their great kindness with your help. Any money you donate will ALL go to this amazing charity. I am paying for my own jump,so every penny counts.

Please keep Leonie's dream alive for helping others. May Godbless each and everyone of you,thank you from my heart xxx
