I’m taking on a charity skydive on June 6 to raise money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity after my daughter Faith, who is 11 years old, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease.

Earlier this year our world changed when Faith was diagnosed after months of hospital visits while doctors tried to understand what was causing her health problems.

Faith also lives with vesicoureteral reflux, which has caused ongoing infections and health difficulties. She is now under the care of the incredible renal team at Birmingham Children’s Hospital, who continue to support and monitor her condition.

Watching your child go through something like this is incredibly hard. I wanted to turn that feeling into something positive and give something back to the hospital who are helping Faith and supporting our family. Without them, I honestly don’t know what we would do.

On 6 June 2026 I will be doing a tandem skydive as part of Team BCH to raise money and awareness for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity.

We would be so grateful for any donations, which will help support the hospital that cares for Faith and so many other children. Donations can be made here:
