Story
on 28th September, I will be joining a few others in a group skydive to raise money for Larsen's Pride.
Most of my friends and family will already know who Larsen is. Larsen is Cyrus' nephew who died of a brain tumour when he was just five years old.
I’m terrified but I remind myself that children and their families going through what Larsen went through have to be brave every day. I can be brave for one day!
Larsen’s Pride will be hosting a skydive to raise money to improve the lives & experience of the youngest children after a brain tumour diagnosis. On 28th September, I will be jumping from 14,000 feet and falling at 120mph to raise money for their charity.
You may know their charity from gorgeous Jellycat donations which help to bring courage and comfort to children during their treatment.
But did you know, they also…
📢 Advocate for children’s rights and experiences at national healthcare conferences
👩🏫 Train health care students to improve their knowledge and understanding of working with children in their future roles
📹 Create resources such as videos, animations, posters, sticker charts and more to prepare and distract children during their treatment
📑 Advise and consult with professional bodies on what paediatric specialist roles should look like
🧑🧑🧒🧒 Support families after diagnosis
Please give generously to enable Larsen's Pride to continue their work!
