I'm skydiving for Make-A-Wish® UK!

I’m doing something completely out of my comfort zone to help make dreams come true.

On Sunday 7th September 2025 at Headcorn Aerodrome, I’ll be jumping out of a plane from 12,000 feet to raise funds for Make-A-Wish® UK — a charity that grants life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses.

Yes, you read that right — 12,000 feet! 🛩️

Make-A-Wish helps bring joy, strength, and hope to children and families going through unimaginable challenges. But right now, the number of children with less than a year to live is rising, and the charity is urgently trying to meet the growing demand for wishes.


For these children and their families, time is precious. A wish can be so much more than a moment of happiness — it’s a chance to feel normal again, to dream big, and to create unforgettable memories that can bring comfort and strength during the toughest of times. 

💙 Here's where you come in:

Your donation — big or small — could be the reason a child gets to see their wish come true. Whether it’s meeting their hero, going on an adventure, or simply having a day without hospital visits, you can help make it happen


If you can spare anything at all, I'd be incredibly grateful for your support. It's a big leap for a great cause, and your donation will help make every terrifying second worthwhile.

 

Thank you so much,

Brooke x
