15000ft skydive for West Sussex Mind and home start Arun, Worthing & Adur

On Sunday 26th July I’m stepping far outside my comfort zone and taking on a 15,000ft skydive to raise money for Home-Start Arun, Worthing & Adur and West Sussex Mind, two incredible charities that helped me through one of the most difficult periods of my life when I experienced postnatal depression and anxiety after having my little boy Sebastian in August 2024. 

The support, understanding and guidance I have received has a huge difference to my parenting journey so far, and I’ll always be grateful for the help I have received when I needed it most.


This skydive is my way of giving something back and helping to ensure that others can access the same life-changing support


If you’re able to sponsor me, please follow the link below. If donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this post would mean just as much.


Thank you so much for your kindness, support and encouragement. Knowing that this jump will help make a positive difference will definitely help calm my nerves when I’m standing at 15,000ft


Any money raised will be split 50/50 between the two charities! ☺️
