Recently I celebrated my ‘5 years still standing’ anniversary! So to celebrate I thought, why not jump out of a plane at 15,000 feet!

5 years ago I was, very unexpectedly, diagnosed with a huge and incredibly rare tumour (1 in a million) at the base of my skull. I underwent 14 and a half hours surgery to remove the tumour (through my nose, blurgh!) followed by intensive proton beam radiotherapy.

My neurosurgeon, Professor Omar Pathmanaban, is my real life superhero! How do you ever thank someone enough for literally saving your life? You can’t. Words will never be enough. But what I would like to do is raise as much money as possible for the brilliant research foundation where he works alongside many other amazing life-saving superheroes to teach, train and research treatments and cures into often difficult and rare Skull Base conditions. Without such previous research I would not still be standing here 5 years later.

If you can, please sponsor me to do my crazy Sky Dive, no matter how small an amount – every penny counts towards potentially making a breakthrough to save another person’s life. I would be so grateful for any support so I can, in turn, show just how grateful I am to those who saved my life.

Videos and photos will be taken so you’ll be able to see the sheer terror deep in my soul just before I jump!

Omar and his team gave me wings again so I can fly – so now I’m going to put my wings to the test - just with the aid of a parachute! 😉

Thank you SO much for any support.
