Kirk's Skydive
Kirk Powell is raising money for Willow Foundation
In memory of Lee Dunford
Story
Why am I jumping out of a plane ? All because of one man Lee Dunford those who didn’t know Lee were so unfortunate. Lee was a remarkable, hilarious, kind hearted, tea drinking, bass playing, football playing, Manchester United following, the humblest kindest guy I had the pleasure to call my friend.
Lee was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease while studying for his A Levels in 2002, His fight against cancer saw him undergo two stem cell transplants he never let that get to him and faced it all with his wicked sense of humour, Lee’s life was tragically cut short at the age of 21
During his illness Lee was put in touch with the Willow Foundation the charity set out to improve quality of life for seriously ill young adults and they helped Lee fulfill his dream of recording a cd at a recording studio in London with his band mates the greatest band from the early noughties Postillionage (due to my lack of musical talent I was just the roadie and number 1 fan)
Lee is and also will always be an inspiration to me and after years of Leestock attending watching it grow from a few of us at a village hall to the incredible spectacle it is is today the organisers do an insane job every year it’s my time to do take responsibility a do something crazy that I’m sure he would approve of and definitely take the piss out of. If you can spare anything to help raise awareness of the incredible willow foundation please donate x
