Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Please help me raise at least £500 for the Cardiac Risk in the Young charity!

Just click DONATE or text JENY57 and then the amount you want to donate (up to £10) to 70070 to sponsor me today.

It's now over two years ago since my dear friend Jenny Kerwood, playing for the Hutton FC Ladies, collapsed on the football field during a training session, suffering a cardiac arrest, falling victim to a rare undiagnosed heart condition, ending her life at the young age of just 22: www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2104863/Jenny-Kerwood-22-collapses-dies-pitch-horrified-team-mates.html

After the same happened to Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba a couple of months later, he was one of the lucky ones to survive, the general awareness has rocketed, but I still want to raise more!

So, in Jenny's memory, I am going to join her above the clouds on the 21st of July & skydive for a good cause- the Cardiac Risk in Young Charity. So far I've raised over £400, 80% of my target, and am grateful for every donation, but again, I still want to raise more!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Just click DONATE or text JENY57 and then the amount you want to donate (up to £10) to 70070 to sponsor me today.

Thank you!
