Story

Hello wonderful people!! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

I have agreed to throw myself out of a plane in August to raise some well deserved cash for the mental illness charity ‘Rethink’.

As some of you may already know, this year has been extremely hard for me and for many of my loved ones. On Thursday 8th February my dear friend Tom took his own life and the aftermath of that loss has been horrendous for all involved. Losing someone you love to suicide is something you will never be prepared for and it has certainly hit me very hard. Thankfully, my friends and I have such a strong support network we are somehow muddling through this mess together.

I wanted to do something positive and proactive that would help others who are struggling with similar issues get the support that they need. So, as you can imagine, when I was given the opportunity to sign up to the ITN charity skydive in order to raise money for ‘Rethink’ I (quite literally) jumped at the chance!!

‘Rethink’, are a wonderful charity who offer advice and guidance if you’re suffering from a mental illness and they are also there to help and support the people surrounding that person - which I think is equally important.

So please please PLEASE donate as much as you can to support this great cause. I would be very very grateful as it means a lot to me. Xxx
