Karen's Skydiving for Myton Hospice in memory of Christine

Karen Thomas is raising money for The Myton Hospices

The Myton Hospices - Skydive 25 - March Weekend · 22 March 2025 to 23 March 2025 ·

Help us raise £20,000 at this year's March Skydive Weekend so we can continue providing our services to people with life-limiting illnesses, and their families...

Story

On Saturday 22nd March 2025 I will be undertaking a Tandem Skydive in Memory of my Mum, Christine Wells.

At the end of 2024 my Mum was discharged from hospital under palliative care. This was a huge shock to us all and led to an upsetting and challenging time. I can only thank friends and family for pointing us in the direction of Myton at Home Service. They took over the main provision of care for my Mum, providing compassion, kindness and dignity during her last weeks of life. During this time I felt I wanted to give something back to them and looking at the fund raising opportunities for Myton Hospice, came across the Skydive. The date of the event would have been my Mum's 81st Birthday this year - so it was meant to be!

The Myton Hospices are a charity with only 20% funding from the NHS. This year they need to raise £11 million through donations and support so that they can continue their vital work in the hospices and the local community. Please help support Myton by sponsoring my Skydive

Thank you,

Love Karen x
