Skydive September 2026

For Grandad

On September 13th this year, I will be skydiving 10,000 ft.

The thought of this terrifies me but I am taking on this challenge in memory of my grandad, who passed away last year. My grandad was a huge part of my life, he always inspired me and encouraged me to take on difficult things; whether that be maths as a child or leaving my home town for university. 

While my grandad stayed strong, kind and loving while living with Parkinson's, watching the impact it had on his day to day life highlighted the importance of Parkinson's UK.

Supporting me, will fund a home visits to a person living with Parkinson's navigate the complex challenges of social care, benefits and employment issues. It will also help Parkinson's UK continue the amazing things they do!

My grandad would have probably laughed at the idea of me jumping out of a plane but I hope that he will be looking down at me on the day proud that I am doing it for a cause that can help so many people. 

If you are able to donate or share my fundraising page, I would be incredibly grateful; as supporting this charity can make a massive difference for people like my granddad. 

Thank you for all your support <3

I can honestly say that was the best experience of my life. Thank you to everyone who donated ❤️ I’m so grateful for everyone’s support!! We raised over £1000 for this amazing charity, thank you again!!

As my jump day is quickly approaching, I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported me through sponsoring me or sharing my page. 

We have raised almost £1000! It means the world to me and will help Parkinson’s Uk in continuing their amazing work.

As the support around me has been extremely strong, I have decided to face my fears to the max and upgrade my jump to 15000ft! 

While I am incredibly nervous I know I have all my amazing sponsors, family, friends and family behind me. Time to make grandad proud!

Thank you again, I greatly appreciate it.

 Love Katie ❤️
