It is looking like my skydive will go ahead tomorrow Saturday 8th February. I’ve to be at Movenis Airfield, Garvagh at 10am and all looking positive just now - please pray that it stays that way! I can’t wait to get it done! Thanks to all of you for your generous donations - I know Home Start Antrim are so grateful for these vital funds!

Unfortunately due to weather my Skydive has once again been postponed, however, I will be completing it as soon as I can, and will be taking the next available date and will update when it is.

Thanks once again for the very generous donations, I am so grateful.

Finally, I have been given a new date for my Skydive - Sunday 6th October at 12 noon at Movenis Airfield!

Inspired by all of your generous donations so far I have decided to go for the higher jump of 15,000 feet!! As I have already said I will be covering all costs myself so all donations and gift aid goes directly to Home-Start Antrim to support their amazing work!

Thanks again to all of you who have donated - can't wait to share the video with you all after!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In lieu of gifts for my 70th birthday in June I am raising funds for Home-Start Antrim District! I am taking on a huge personal challenge and will be doing a Skydive with the fantastic Skydive Ireland. My big "jump" is scheduled for Sunday 23rd June around 12 noon at Movenis Airfield, Carrowreagh Road, Garvagh and I would be so grateful for your donations! I will be covering all the costs of the skydive myself so that 100% of donations go directly to Home-Start Antrim.

As most of my family and friends are aware Home-Start Antrim is a charity very close to my heart and I have volunteered there for over 30 years! As well as the support I feel privileged to have given to all my wonderful families over the years as a Home-Start Antrim volunteer I have been blessed to have received masses of support from the staff and my fellow volunteers through some of the most difficult times in my life. I want to thank this very special Charity by raising as much as I can to support their vital work in the Antrim town area!
