DofE Skydive Challenge

I'm skydiving to support the DofE charity!

Having completed a Wing Walk last year to raise funds for the DofE charity, I have got the adrenaline bug, so decided to go to the next level and take on the challenge of a lifetime and do a tandem skydive! Nervous doesn't even begin to cover it!

I appreciate that I asked you all for support last year, and was blown away by the generosity to help me smash my fundraising target, so I know it is a big ask to request your support again. No matter how small, every donation counts and I would be so grateful of your support to help me raise my target of £500.

For 14-25 years olds the DofE is a life-changing experience but the marginalised young people are the most likely to miss out.  I'm raising money for the DofE charity so that they can keep opening up this life-changing opportunity to those who would benefit the most.  Please support me in anyway you can.  Thank you.

My Updates

OMG! I did it!

Sunday 21st Jul
Wow! What a feeling! What a rush! What a buzz! it honestly was one of the most exhilarating and amazing experiences of my life! I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it!
I am blown away by the generous support you amazing friends have given me, and since posting the video of the jump online I have had 8 more kind donations taking me to £1055 raised (plus gift aid).
Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey! 

Change of date!

Monday 1st Jul
So, unfortunately my skydive has been postponed by 2 weeks! I will now be jumping on 19th July instead - so rest assured, I will still ensure that all the money raised will still be going to the DofE.
I have had to change it due to a chest infection I have been trying hard to fight off in time for Friday, but the doctor advised not to do it until I am fully recovered. So it's rebooked and I will be raring to go on 19th.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!

Thank you everyone!

Saturday 15th Jun
Thank you everyone - I am blown away by the support and generosity of you all and I have now reached my target! Of course, I am not going to stop there as every penny counts and will go to this amazing cause, bringing the DofE scheme to those that would otherwise not be able to take part.
Please keep any donations coming - I am jumping out of an aeroplane for heavens sake!!!!

Thank You to my first sponsors!

Tuesday 28th May
Thank you to all my lovely friends who have kicked off my fund raising - I am truly appreciative for your donations to this wonderful charity.
I cannot identify my 'anonymous' donor' so if you could make yourself know to me by some other means I would dearly love to thank you personally!

The date is set!

Thursday 16th May
So, my skydive is booked for Friday 5th July! Not sure what training I can do in preparation other than going to the top of very tall buildings and looking down!
I'll keep you posted.......

Thank you to my Sponsors
