Story

On Wednesday 12th April 2023, we will be doing a skydive to try and rise as much money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK.

  • In the UK 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer
  • Every 45 Minutes a man dies of prostate cancer
  • Around 410 thousand men are living with and after prostate cancer.
  • Over 143 men a day are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK

At the start of summer, Sammys dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer, luckily, he has been provided with treatment options and is undergoing radiotherapy. 

Prostate Cancer UKs top priority is funding research to stop prostate cancer killing men, they are investing millions into providing better treatments and tests that can stop fast growing cancers, this could save out dads, brothers and all the other important men's lives. 

As we can't do 'Movember'  Sammy wanted to raise money in other ways, and Charlotte wanted to help so she decided to hold Sammy’s hand and jump out of a plane with her (even though we would both rather grow a tash) we thought we would throw ourselves out of a plane instead!! we are both terrified of heights, but it is noting in comparison to what men have to go through when fighting prostate cancer and what the families go through supporting them. 

We know times are hard, but every penny counts towards a great cause.

Wish us luck!
