David Jordan Skydive
In December 2005, David Jordan's mother Sheila unexpectedly suffered a brain haemorrhage and sadly passed away a few days later.
David chose to do a sole freefall for the Foundation as he wanted a big challenge that would maximise donations and also express how far he would go to do something In Memory of his Mum. He raised over £2000 for the Foundation.
"Diving out the plane at 12,000ft is just an amazing rush and I will never forget it."
Green Dragon Inn
A Fun Day in memory of Paul Jenkins, a 43-year Monmouth lorry driver and a regular of Monmouth's Green Dragon Pub, was held on the Chippenham Fileds in June. The day included egg and spoon races, three legged races and a tug of war competition.
Fallout for Foundation Funds
"It was such an adrenalin rush, the feeling was indescribable!" said Leanne Adams after she jumped on the 23rd September.
Why did you decide to do a parachute jump? "Doing a skydive has always appealed to me. I thought it would be a great way to raise money as well as doing something challenging and exciting."
Why did you choose the Foundation? "I chose the Foundation because it means a lot to me and my family as my mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour a few years ago which was operable and successful. However this was also in memory of my cousin who died last year from a brain tumour."
Trekkers to tackle the Maasai Mara
By Sevenoaks Chronicle
Barbara, 47, and Alex, 40, are preparing to tackle the Maasai Mara in Kenya in aid of the Foundation.
The duo will be hiking up to eight hours a day for a week in intense heat in February in one of the world's most abundant wildlife havens.
Alex said: "The walking will be challenging but we're really looking forward to it. I guarantee we'll have some kind of crazy adventure and there'll be hilarity along the way.”
Julie Goundry, 19, is also joining the duo. She decided to do the trek in memory of her Dad who died suddenly on 31st March 1999 from a brain haemorrhage. Julie said: "By doing the trek it means I get to see all the animals I would on safari, but I am also helping others by raising money for the Foundation as well.”
