Story

Hi Guys,

Thankyou for coming onto our page! A group of us have decided to do a sponsored skydive for Alzheimer's Society. Most people will know somebody who has been affected by dementia and what a difficult awful illness it is. 

I'm speaking from personal experience as a daughter of somebody who has dementia. My mum was 56 when she was diagnosed with Early onset Frontal Lobe Dementia and now after two years is living in a care home. When we received the news my heart absolute broke in two. But I made a promise to myself, my mum, family and friends  that day that know matter how rubbish life gets or difficult times are there is ALWAYS a positive in everyday. So with that in mind a group of us have decided to throw ourselves out of a plane to raise as much possible as humanly possible to beat this illness. So in the future we can find a cure for this awful awful disease and nobody else has to go through what we have.  

As my mum would say you only have one life so live it.. Life's to short to sit around sulking. So we are doing this for you mum!
