My name’s Richard — I’m 89 years young, and I’ve always believed that life is meant to be lived right on the edge.

That’s probably why I still feel so young at heart.

I’ve never been one to take things too seriously, and I’ve always loved setting myself challenges that are a little… out of the ordinary.

So, I’ve decided it’s time for a new adventure: I’m doing a skydive.

Yes, you read that right — a skydive at 89.

And while I’m throwing myself out of a perfectly good plane, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to raise funds and awareness for a charity that means a great deal to me: DEBRA UK.

I’m raising money to support DEBRA’s incredible work, and every donation — big or small — will help make a real difference.

Thank you in advance for supporting a cause that is so close to my heart.

About DEBRA:

DEBRA is a national charity supporting people living with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare and extremely painful genetic skin condition that causes the skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch — as fragile as a butterfly’s wings. DEBRA provides vital care and support to improve quality of life for those affected, and funds pioneering research to find effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
