Title: Jumping for Hope: Skydive for Friedrich’s
Ataxia Awareness
Story:
Hi everyone!
I'm Marc Holdsworth, and few others Ashley Holdsworth, Michael Nicholson, Dionne Moore and Kaydie Cariss are taking on a thrilling challenge—a skydive—to raise awareness and funds for a cause that’s very close to my heart: Friedrich’s Ataxia (FA).
Friedrich’s Ataxia is a rare, degenerative neuromuscular disorder that affects the nervous system and movement. It’s progressive, life-altering, and currently has no cure. But there is hope—research is making strides, and with your help, we can accelerate that progress.
I’ve committed to jumping out of a plane (yes, really!) to show my support and raise vital funds for Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to a future without FA.
Where your donations will go:
All proceeds will go directly to ataxia UK, supporting groundbreaking research, clinical trials, and resources for those living with FA.
The jump is scheduled for 7th September and I’ll be sharing updates, photos, and (hopefully) a video of the big leap!
Thank you for supporting this cause and helping make a difference. Let’s turn fear into flight—and hope into action.
With gratitude,
Marc Holdsworth
