Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For those of you who don't know, my Mum Karen passed away 7 years ago this year and I am doing this jump in her memory. My Mum suffered with various degrees of mental health for as far back as I can remember. Sadly due to these mental health issues she chose to take her own life back in 2007 which completly changed my outlook on life and her illness. 

so on May the 3rd 2014 on what would of been my mums 55th Birthday, I will be tandem jumping from a plane @ 10000ft For the charity Mind. 

The reason I chose "Mind" as my charity is because of the great work they do for people with mental health issues and the help and support they give to their families. Mental Illness is still a taboo subject for many people as no one talks about it and there is still some stigma attached to people who suffer with mental health. Telling people my Mum died due to mental health is not as socially acceptable as telling people she died of another cause and with the help of Charities such as Mind, hopefully more people will be aware of these issues and a little less afraid about talking about it, Its time for Change...... You all know me I am happy to talk to anyone about anything!

For those who know me well you will know how much I hate heights and really I wonder if I am the one with mental health issues doing this jump at 10000ft!!! So please dig deep and donate now for this wonderful charity.
