Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So then after many years of competing in triathlons, Ironman triathlons,marathons, ultra marathons and swimming events all to a high standard i find myself feeling very out of my comfort zone and jumping from a perfectly good airplane at 15000feet in a tandem skydive. Whilst not the biggest physical challenge I’ve done it will certainly be a very tough mental challenge there is no doubt about that!

I not only enjoy going out of my comfort zone I think it’s hugely important and beneficial to do so as this can only improve your personality and your mental well-being whilst being fun at the same time, what’s not to like about improving yourself?

Challenges come in many forms and experiencing my mum and sister both getting cancer along with my sister in law and unfortunately quite a few friends has been a real challenge not only for them but for myself and others that are close by, to experience such feelings is quite a common place nowadays for most of us which is awful but cancer and such illness are all around us.

So this is where you guys come in and please if you can donate whatever you could to see me jump from this plane would not only be incredibly appreciated by myself i know it would help to make others lives that bit more comfortable while they endure there own challenges and journeys.

Many many thanks for your support 🙏
