Around a year ago our family life was turned on its head when Lacie was diagnosed with leukaemia, something no one could ever prepare you for and something I never wanted our little girl to have to go through. However she’s been an absolute star all the way through and handled all the treatment like a boss!

As a family we’ve met so many amazing people along this journey. Although we’re all part of an exclusive club that no one wants to be part of, we’ve made unbreakable lifelong friendships.

Myself and 3 of the other Rainbow ward fathers wanted to raise awareness of the impact children’s cancer has on a family and raise a bit of money along the way for a charity that’s supplied Lacie with a weekly play therapist for the last year which has been so beneficial to her. That's why we've decided to take action by participating in a skydiving fundraiser in support of Kids Cancer Charity.

Every donation made to our Just Giving page will directly contribute to the fantastic efforts of the charity, as the cost of the skydive has been covered by ourselves.

Kids Cancer Charity have been caring for and supporting families like ours for over 30 years and their hard work helps to ensure the quality of life for children with cancer is a right, not a luxury. They are probably best known for their ‘Holiday Programme’ which offers trips to caravans on specially chosen sites situated on the Welsh coast, where our families can get away from the pressures of hospitals and treatments. The programme also provides resort holidays in Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland Paris, where their partners can provide a unique programme of supervised and special facilities. Put simply, their aim is to provide us with memories to last for a lifetime.

By participating in this skydiving event, we want to not only raise funds but also spread awareness about childhood cancer and the pressing need for continued support and research. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful impact for kids like ours. Thank you.
