Natalie Duncan, a member of the Fundraising team at St Mary's Hospice, will bravely be jumping out of a plane on Saturday 13th August! As a Fundraiser Natalie works tirelessly to raise awareness and funds for a cause that is very close to her heart.

Please take a few moments to read Natalie's words...

"Hi Everyone. I would firstly like to thank everybody who has kindly sponsored me already. I really appreciate your support!

Both I and my husband Michael have signed up to take part in the 10,000 ft freefall skydive in aid of St Mary’s Hospice.

I would like to let you all know that this will be a huge challenge for me!! I am petrified of even stepping onto a plane, never mind the engines starting up and the plane taking off! To jump out of a plane will probably be the scariest thing in the world for me to experience, but I believe that people have to go through far worse than this in everyday life, which is why the care and support that St Mary’s provides is so important to our community.

I have also roped my husband Michael into taking part in the skydive alongside me, and he isn’t particularly looking forward to it either, but I know that his support will give me the courage to let go of that plane door!

Obviously, the most important reason behind taking part is to raise both awareness and sponsorship money for St Mary’s. Both Michael and I would like to raise as much money as possible for the charity!

St Mary’s is a very special place to me, filled with some of the most caring and inspiring people I have met in my life – so please help us reach our target and make a difference to the Hospice.

The skydive takes place on Saturday 13th August at The North West Parachute Centre, Cark Airfield. If you would like to sponsor me please visit my Justgiving page:

Thank you for taking the time to read this. It would be of great help if you could pass on the information to anybody you believe would like to make donations to St Mary’s Hospice.

Thank you so much! Natalie xx."
