Skydive for St Joseph's Hospice in memory of Reg Tarbard

On August 31st 2024, myself, Jessica Black, Sinead Sampson, Callum Bishop and Marc Soper who all knew my Dad, will be jumping out of a plane from 15,000ft in Salisbury.

As many of you may know, I lost my Mum to cancer in 2016.

During her final months, she was lucky enough to be admitted to St Joseph's Hospice. After the unbelievable care they provided, in 2017 I participated in a 10,000ft Skydive to raise money for the Hospice in her memory.

Fast forward to 2024, and after 7 years of Dad and I making the most of our time together going out on dinner dates as often as possible, his health unfortunately began to rapidly deteriorate after his 89th Birthday.

I fought and fought and was finally successful in getting Dad admitted into St Joseph's at the beginning of 2024. It was a huge comfort to us both, and the first room he stayed in was actually the same room Mum had previously stayed in.

Once again, the care provided during Dad's short stay was impeccable and it's fair to say he built himself quite a fan club.

Many of my friends have also been lucky enough to experience the level of care provided at St Joseph's. I will be eternally grateful to all the staff for making both my parents passing that little bit easier, and giving me the opportunity to look back with fond memories of both their times spent there.

As Dad was present at my 2017 skydive, it seemed only fitting to jump again to raise money for St Joseph's, but now in his memory.

So if I could ask you to please donate, no matter what amount, towards the Angels at St Joseph's. Your donations will help the Hospice continue the highest level of service for future families dealing with the unfortunate process of losing a loved one.

Thank you in advance.
