Story

On 19th December 2021 Rory ‘Tiger’ Maxwell Harty fell to sleep in his Mummy’s arms after showing so much strength and bravery in his fight against Leukaemia.

In the 10 days after this Rory was at Derian House Children’s Hospice  where his Mummy and Daddy were able to spend invaluable time with him and receive support, which I know they will be forever grateful for. 

I’ve decided I’m going to try and be as brave as Rory Tiger and jump 15,000ft out of a plane in his memory and to raise much needed funds for an amazing charity.

Thank you for visiting my page and please donate whatever you can as It means so much to Rory’s Mummy and Daddy and his family. 

Here goes…. 💙🐯

3, 2, 1 JUMP! This summer I'm strapping myself in and flying up to 15,000ft. Once there, the door of the plane will be opened and I will jump out attached to a British Skydiving qualified instructor and experience speeds of 120mph as I fly through the skies of Lancashire, all to raise funds for Derian House Childrens Hospice.Derian House provide care and respite for children with life-limiting or life-shortening conditions across the North West of England. To provide their services it costs them almost £5m per year, with only 12% of this coming from any statutory sources. The charity have to find the remaining 88% to keep their doors open.
