Abbey's story...

"On December 31st 2018 I got the worst news to say that my unborn child no longer had a heartbeat. 3 days later on January 3rd at 19 weeks i delivered a precious little baby boy who we named Georgie.

"I have always wanted to do a skydive then once I started working at Healthwatch Darlington my work friend Jamie told me he had done a skydive for men's mental health and he persuaded me to do a jump with him. Any donations would help massively for this amazing charity."

They managed to raise an amazing £1,350! Congratulations to both of you!! 

They want to thank each and every one of you for your amazing support over the past few months in raising such a terrific amount for their chosen charity.
