Story

My name is Mary Craven and I'm 15 years old. I'm doing a sponsored skydive in aid of a great chairty, Derians House Children's Hospice. A very good friend of mine, Sophie, has a sister, Rachel, who suffers from Juvenile Huntington's disease since she was 9 which is a degenerative terminal illness.  She is now 19 and Sophie and her family have been attending Derian House since Rachel was 16 and the charity have been amazing with their family and without them Sophie and her family wouldn't get any restpite care and Rachel wouldn't be able to meet with other young people who are ill and feel comfortable around them.This is why I want to raise as much money for this charity as possible as they deserve more than the statutory funding they get for only just 5 week a year.

Thank you for taking your time to visit my just giving page. You will be helping a very good cause by donating. Every penny helps.
