Story

Hi Everyone - Me again! 

This years challenge to raise funds for St Lukes Sheffield is a SkyDive! It should have happened last year, but you know global pandemic times! 

If you don't know I am really quite scared of heights. I am not scared of jumping, and not scared of planes, but will be finding out how I feel about jumping out of planes!

This last year has been a very tough for everyone, and charities have really struggled! 

I imagine that everyone knows why St Lukes, but for those that don't please keep on reading if you would like to.

When we lost Becky's Mum to Cancer, the staff at St Lukes made what could have been a totally unbearable time in our lives, just about bearable. Every single person that we had contact with from St Lukes went tearing past what we ever expected, and in fact thought could be possible. I truly do not think we could ever thank them enough for their kindness to all of us at the time it was needed the most. I will never be able to fully repay, in either monetary terms, or the support that St Lukes gave Becky and myself in helping us to move through the unknown, I will keep trying though!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
