Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am raising money for We Hear You (WHY),  through Thatcher + Hallam LLP as our charity of the year. by running the Bath Half Marathon on 29th of May and then Skydiving on the 10th June. 

There are around 375,000 new cancer cases every year in the UK alone. I'm sure many of you reading this will know of a loved one, be it friend or family, who has suffered with a life threatening condition such as cancer and will understand first hand the emotional toll this can have those on all involved. 

WHY provides therapeutic support to children, families and friends of those suffering with cancer and other life-threatening conditions, because no one should have to suffer through the emotional hardship and grief of a life-threatening condition alone. 

The mission of WHY is one which is very close to my heart personally and my hope is that the monies raised will go to the betterment of peoples lives at their lowest point.  

It is for these reasons that I have decided to overcome my inherently physically lazy nature and run the Bath Half Marathon in May. As many of you will know I am not the running type and some of you likely find the mental image of me running hilarious. This I understand and you have my full permission to turn up on the day and laugh at me as I cross the finish line.

Further, I am also fairly uncomfortable with heights, so I have decided to throw myself out of an aeroplane at 10,000 feet (with a parachute) in a tandem skydive on the 10th of June. If you wish to watch me (hopefully) land on the day please message me and I'll give you the details. 

My hope is that by doing these two wildly different activities I can raise money to support WHY and fund a small part of their fantastic work. 

Many thanks for reading.
