On the 24th July, I skydived from 15000 feet to raise money for Kidney Research UK. It has been a long time coming, but I am overwhelmed with the level of support received and the outstanding amount of £2,350 that was raised by family, friends and generous people that know just how much this means to me. And what an experience it was!

I surpassed my initial target by 235% and there’s still a small amount of time to donate to this great charity yet by clicking the link below:

As a result of the fundraising and challenge that I decided to take on for Kidney Research UK, I have also been offered an ambassador role which gives me a great sense of price and achievement.

A big thank you to the charity, Sarah and the team for the great support, updates and information throughout. Also a big thank you to my Wife, Emma, as she has been my absolute rock over these last 18 months or so from the moment that I decided to take this on. Lastly, a massive thank you to every single person that has donated!
