Story

PLEASE HELP IN THE WAR AGAINST CANCER!!!!

I'm taking part in a Charity Skydive, on the 9th August 2020, in Oxford for the Robs ARTTT Cancer Charity

Robs ARTTT is especially close to my heart as I personally knew Rob growing up, living only doors away from him in Downley, High Wycombe, me and my brother were good friends with him and used to always do things together. Unfortunately, Rob, whilst still at a very young age, lost his battle with a Rare and Aggressive form of Teenage Cancer, Robs ARTTT was his dying wish, he wanted to help start a charitable organisation in a bid to help others in his situation and to ultimately, find a cure for Cancer!

None of us like the C word, and this we all need to rally together to stop it from claiming any more of our loved ones!

I've set myself a very ambitious target here but I know that through Crowd Funding, we will absolutely smash this!

Far too many of us have been affected by or lost friends & family to this cruel & evil disease. It doesn't care if your young or old, it doesn't care where you come from, or what colour our skin is, cancer affects anyone & everyone, from all walks of life and its only TOGETHER that we will truly BEAT CANCER!

I'll explain why I'm so proud to be doing this Skydive for Charity, with the Goal of raising as much money as I can, to help in our war against this despicable disease.

Cancer unfortunately seems to have been a part of my families life for many years now, which in essence, is an extremely sickening thought. Its only when we're exposed to the world of Cancer, that you realise its actually everywhere!

  • My Grandma was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Breast Cancer 11 years ago. It was only through surgery that she was able to beat it. Luckily, she's a survivor!
  • My Grandpa passed away last year, after his battle with Bone Cancer. I lost the wisest, most loving man to this cruel disease. My Grandpa was my Idol & he taught me so many of the life values I still have to this day. 
  • My closest friend, of whom I class as family, has been treated for Esophagus Cancer and is subsequently recovering after intensive & invasive surgery.

Please help! We need to pull together, whether you donate £5.00 or £50.00, small or large, any donation is appreciated and ultimately helps this fantastic charity, both in awareness & funding.

All money raised goes directly to Robs ARTTT, so by Donating, you're making an immediate impact!

Love you all very much & Thank you for taking the time to read this!
