My Story

I’m taking on a skydive to help raise money for dementia services because I’ve seen the difference that thoughtful support can make for older adults living with mental health conditions. Life on a ward can be unsettling, and having the right items, whether for comfort, stimulation or reassurance, can make a meaningful impact on someone’s day. By fundraising, I hope to contribute to resources that help people feel more settled, connected and cared for during a difficult time in their lives. This challenge is my way of doing something practical and meaningful to support those who need it. 

I am sure many of us will know people living with dementia symptoms or Alzheimer’s disease currently or have had neighbours and people in our communities we know who have.  Last year my lovely next-door neighbour passed away after experiencing Alzheimer’s disease for a number of years. I want to do this to raise funds for Bronglais Hospital's Enlli ward. Any funds raised will go towards items that support cognitive stimulation, sensory engagement, and emotional comfort for individuals living with dementia.

I'm stepping up, literally 10,000ft up, to do something well outside my comfort zone so would really love your help (and donations) to get me through this!
