With just a few weeks to go until she takes the leap, our Digital Marketing Executive, Alice, is preparing for her 15,000 ft skydive on Saturday 13th September in aid of Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).
CHSW provides vital care and support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families across the South West. The charity’s hospices are a lifeline for many, offering respite, palliative care, and a place where families can make precious memories together.
Having grown up just down the road from the hospice, Alice has always been aware of its impact on the community. Since joining Happy Days, she has attended two Rainbow Runs and many Business Club meetings at the hospice, experiences that have given her the motivation to “get up and do it” for such a worthwhile cause.
“I’m really excited for my skydive, but I know that when I look down and can’t see the ground, I’m going to get some major butterflies. Jumping from 15,000 ft is definitely out of my comfort zone, but knowing that every penny raised will go to such an amazing cause makes it all worth it.”
Alice has already raised £295 towards her £500 target, but she’s determined to give her fundraising a final push. To help reach her goal, she’s organised a Charity Tuck Shop in the Happy Days office, selling a range of sweet and savoury snacks.
“I couldn’t be more grateful for all the donations so far,” she added. “I’m excited to do one last big fundraising push and meet that target.”
