Jules and Paula's Wing Walk

Jules and I are thrilled to announce that we will be taking part in a wing walk in July 2026 to raise funds for these incredible charities. This daring challenge is not just about pushing our limits but also about supporting the vital work done by Cancer Research, Crohn’s & Colitis, Pete’s Dragon, and The Shallowford Trust. Your sponsorship will go directly towards helping these organisations continue their invaluable efforts.
We would be deeply grateful for any contribution, big or small, to help us reach our fundraising goal. Together, we can make a difference!

A bit a bout the charities we are supporting
Pete’s Dragons was founded in 2010 by CEO Alison Jordan, following the suicide of her younger brother Pete. Starting as a small fundraising group, the Dragons have since developed into experts in the field. With over a decade of experience, we are commissioned to run support services in Devon.

East Shallowford is a hill farm, meaning it is located high above sea level, in ‘upland’ where sheep or cattle are the main form of agriculture as the soil is too thin and acidic to grow crops.
East Shallowford Farm was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, although the current buildings are old, compared to many local houses they are quite modern, with the house and barns having been built around 1680.
Humans form part of the integrated world. Sometimes it is easy to forget this. At Shallowford Farm, human interdependence with the real, physical world comes to life.
The Farm was initially bought in 1976 by Elizabeth Braund and Rosemary Bird who recognised the need for young people to develop a sense of community and self-worth. Miss Braund had started working in Battersea, London with young people after the war, establishing Providence House in Battersea in 1963. By offering regular trips from inner-city London to Dartmoor, young people could be immersed in new experiences and wild places within the stability and safety of a homely working farm environment. Subsequently East Shallowford Farm became known as “A lung for the city” where curiosity and imagination could be developed and young people could embrace positive challenges.

Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis are two types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Both are lifelong conditions which cause inflammation in parts of the digestive system, and while they’re different, they have a lot in common.
1 in 100 people have Crohn’s or Colitis in the UK which means over 500,000 people in the UK are known to be living with the disease, and many live with undiagnosed Crohn’s or Colitis. Because the nature of the symptoms can cause embarrassment, they don’t get discussed and sadly, that means many people are suffering in silence.
According to a 2019 study by the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh has some of the highest known rates of inflammatory bowel disease in the world. One in 125 people in Lothian have Crohn’s or Colitis, and the number is predicted to rise to one in 98 by 2028. Further research is expected to find that this figure will apply to the rest of Scotland and the UK too

Cancer Research UK (CRUK) is the world's largest independent cancer research organisation.[2][3] It is registered as a charity in the United Kingdom[1] and Isle of Man, and was formed on 4 February 2002 by the merger of The Cancer Research Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund.
Cancer Research UK conducts research using both its own staff and grant-funded researchers. It also provides information about cancer and runs campaigns aimed at raising awareness and influencing public policy. The organisation's work is almost entirely funded by the public. It raises money through donations, legacies, community fundraising, events, retail and corporate partnerships. Over 25,000 people are regular volunteers.
