On 25th July, I will skydive 12,000ft to raise funds for Parkinson's UK and St George's Hospital (Atkinson Morley Wing), two charities very close to my heart. This is huge challenge for me and i am really stepping out of my comfort zone. I am terrified of heights.

When I arrived in Surrey, thousands of miles from home, Dave welcomed me like a father figure. Dave sadly suffers from Parkinsons disease, and I am doing this to give back to him. Along with a 'charity day' event at The Bull Inn Limpsfield on 2nd August.

Dave is at the heart of our village pub; despite the fact that it is extremely challenging, no job is too small for him, and he is always available when we need him. We,d would be lost without him.

Not only is he a great help around the pub, he is our friend and neighbour who we love dearly.

Dave was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 52. He has gone through major medical studies (deep brain simulation which is in Celsius inserted into his brain to help minimise levels of tremors), which he continues to regularly attend for fine-tuning. Money raised for vital work that makes a difference to the lives of everybody living with Parkinson's like Dave.

My fundraising target is £2000, and I am asking all my family and friends, colleagues and connections to sponsor me if you can, no matter how much. To help me on my journey to try and reach my target would be hugley appreicated.
