Skydive in memory of my Dad George

I am raising money for The Cancer Fund for Children in memory of my late father, George Mc Dermott. My Dad passed away 15 years ago today, on the 22nd of March 2009. I was 18 when he passed and only 13 when he was first diagnosed with cancer. I know what it's like to be a teenager coping with the loss of a parent, but now as a parent myself, I can only imagine what it would be like to face a diagnosis for one of my children.

The Cancer Fund for Children is there for children and young people diagnosed with cancer or living with a parent with cancer. Every week in Northern Ireland, another three children, teenagers or young adults are diagnosed with cancer. They help these children and their families through practical and emotional support in their home, in the community, on the hospital ward as well as at their therapeutic short breaks facility Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, Co Down. They also support the whole family, as well as young people coming to terms with a parental diagnosis of cancer and bereaved families.

I will be taking on a 15,000ft Skydive in memory of my Dad on his birthday the 26th of July 2024, he would have been 77. This will involve a personal weight loss goal for myself, losing 10kg in order to meet the weight requirements of the dive. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. Every donation will help!
