Chelsy’s Story

SO HERE GOES…..

I, Me, Chelsy yes !!! Have decided to jump out of a plane and raise money for a charity that is very close to my heart, Mesothelioma uk.

My grandad got diagnosed in July 2024 With Mesothelioma which is a form of cancer on the lining of the lungs which is normally formed from ‘asbestos exposure’ which we believe he had caught this disease during his army days fighting for his country. This came as a massive shock to me and my family as we didn’t know how long we had left… but unfortunately as some of you may know we had to say goodbye to him in October.

Me and my family are all left with a hole in our hearts that will never be filled and will be entirely grateful for his love and kindness because truly there was no human like him.

Grandad wasn’t like all grandads, he was a father figure, a hero, the best man on the planet who did anything and everything for all his loved ones to be happy.

Mesothelioma experts are still trying to find a cure and more treatments for this heartbreaking condition, sooner rather than later so they can help fight it as this disease is very aggressive and currently incurable.

I would love to be able to raise more money for this charity and help them keep researching on treatments to prolong life and ultimately find a cure. Also to support families like my own through this tough time.

Thankyou to everybody for your love and support and I hope you can help raise awareness to this amazing charity.

Grandad I know you might find me crazy on this one but I’ll always continue to make you proud 🤍

Sarah’s story

Yes….people may think I’m crazy doing it again but the buzz I got previously and knowing how much money we raised for a charity so close to my heart I thought.. why the hell not do it again!

My dad continues his battle and since September we have received some amazing news that his cancer has shrunk by 30% and he has now had his drain removed due to the fluid drying up!

These trial drugs really are amazing and I’d love to raise more money to help continued research and to help make these drugs available to all sufferers.

So during a PT session we decided let’s just do it! So here we are! Please help support us and share our stories ❤️

They exist to support people with mesothelioma to live better and live longer and to prevent mesothelioma happening to future generations.
