Hi my name is Vicky Gentry. As some of you may know my son Ben drowned by Clacton pier 26/07/18. Losing him has been devastating to his family and friends.

Im doing a parachute jump on 12/04/25. As someone who finds it hard going up ladders, I'm sure you understand how hard this is going to be for me. But will be worth it if I can help save just 1 family from the heartache of losing someone like we lost Ben.

The charity's im going to donate this money to are R.N.L.I and Live Learn Survive.

Everyone knows R.N.L.I, but may not know Live learn survive.

Let me tell you abit about them.

Maxi (from Bondi Rescue) and Leigh go to schools around Australia and Uk doing workshops for water safety. A small snippet from their website

Live Learn Survive empowers children so they are confident and know what to do in an emergency and help them unleash their inner superhero.

On a mission to reduce the statistic that 42 people drown globally every hour of every day and to raise awareness that children don’t just drown in the ocean.

Since launch Trent and Leigh have travelled to 3 continents and educated face to face over 30,000 children, in 6 countries across 60 cities working with over 100 schools and children’s clubs and organisations.

I would be so grateful for any donations to these 2 amazing charity's.

Thank you so much in advance

Vicky
