My Story
I will be taking part in a 15,000ft Skydive in the hope to raise money for Cancer Research UK. This is a charity close to our family as we sadly lost my Nan to cancer a few years ago and when I first decided to raise money my grandad had been suffering from cancer. Recently my grandad also lost his battle to cancer and I will now be doing my jump in memory of my Nan and grandad. My Nan had a tough fight but took it all on with a smile like the strong woman she was and gave it all that she could before her battle came to an end. She was the most phenomenal woman and I only wish I had done something sooner to help. I am now determined to do my part and help others in her memory, one of those being my Grandad. He has been the backbone of our whole family; A man who would stop at nothing to make everyone around him happy. He is the strongest man I have ever known and I wouldn't be where I am today without the amount of love and support he has always given me and I couldn't imagine my life without him. Anyone who knows my Grandad will agree that he is the most loving and legendary man. My Grandad always calls me a 'Wild Child' so what better way to prove him right than throwing myself out of a plane. Some of my grandads last words were ‘I have worked so hard all my life to build a great business and a strong family’ and this says everything about the man he was. The reason I have chosen Cancer Research UK is because not only I know what it is like to see someone going through the battle but this is also the only charity fighting over 200 Cancers. your donations contribute to: - Antibodies - Mobile awareness units - Fundraising - Research - Online chat open to help and support patients and their families. - Events such as race for life Cancer Research would not be able to do the incredible job they do without all of the donations so anything you can do is always very much appreciated.
