Story

On the 22nd of June 2024, we will be taking part in a Charity Tandem Sky Dive. The plane will climb from up to 15,000ft and when we jump, we will have a minute’s freefall reaching terminal velocity at 120mph (GULP), at 5,000ft, the instructor will finally open the parachute.

Forget Me Not Children's Hospice are an amazing charity who are there for any family confronted with the news their child has a life-shortening condition, however, wherever and whenever they need them. By providing superb nursing care, hydrotherapy, creative therapy, days out, memory making, end of life care, bereavement support and counselling, Forget Me Not helps families make the most of every moment they have together.

This is a cause very close to each of our hearts, having members of our families who have experienced the loss of a child.

In August 2023, Sarah's baby nephew was sadly stillborn and Forget Me Not provided, and continue to provide, invaluable support for Sarah's sister, brother in law and their family.

Laura's parents suffered a loss when their second child was born prematurely. At the time of their loss, there was no support in place for parents and it wasn't spoken about as openly. Forget Me Not is a charity that Laura wishes her family could have benefited from at the time of their loss and is grateful it is available for families today.
