Skydive - In memory of Jake Carney

I'm partaking in a 10,000ft tandem skydive for the charity C.R.Y.
My brother would have been 25 on the 2nd March 2012, which is why I have chosen the 4th March to do my skydive. Sadly he passed away on the 4th May 2009 from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome and C.R.Y offered my family and I unbelievable support throughout this very sad time and continue in their support to date. This is why I would like to do my little bit and raise as much as I can, so that C.R.Y can continue to offer amazing support to other families like us.

Cuban Cycle Challenge - In memory of Lydia Bird

Therese Long, Cathy Bird and Philippa Barrett are undertaking this challenge in memory of Lydia Bird who died suddenly of an undetected cardiac condition and who would have been 21 years old this year. Only one of the group has ever done anything like this before! On this biking challenge, we will cycle approximately 255km over 5 days, deep in the Cuban countryside over very varied terrain. They will travel from Bahia de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs) to Santa Clara (site of Che Guevara's Mausoleum).  To support there effort visit their page by clicking here.
