For my 18th birthday, I’m swapping cake and candles for jumpsuits and parachutes — because this cause truly means the world to me. On the 7th of November, I’ll be leaping out of a plane (yes, on purpose!) to raise money for BEAT, the UK’s leading charity supporting those affected by eating disorders.

This is a cause incredibly close to my heart. I’ve seen first-hand how devastating eating disorders can be, not only for the person struggling but for their loved ones too. BEAT provides life-changing support, guidance, and hope when it’s needed most — and I want to help them reach even more people.

Every donation, big or small, will help BEAT continue their vital work and show those affected that they are not alone. So please, if you can, sponsor my jump — and together, we can make a real difference.

Here’s to making my first day of adulthood one to remember — and hopefully landing on my feet!

Thank you so so much for you love and support

Jake :)
