On Saturday 6th June, my partner Anthony, Jaysley's Dad, will be taking on a skydive in memory of our beautiful daughter, Jaysley.
This hasn't been an easy decision for him. He's actually petrified (don't tell him I said that), and if I'm honest, so am I.
Not long after losing Jaysley, I watched Anthony suffer a heart attack. After everything we've been through as a family, seeing him take on something like this fills me with both pride and nerves in equal measure.
He won't be taking to the sky alone. Jumping alongside him will be his childhood friend, work colleague and close family friends. Men who have stood beside him through some of the hardest days of his life. Men who may not always say much, but whose presence says everything.
Sometimes support is just knowing you're not carrying everything on your own.
While this may be the final skydive, it certainly isn't the end of Jaysley's Voice. Together, through skydives, marathon, events, fundraising and the incredible generosity of so many people, we have raised over £50,000 and will continue our work in Jaysley's memory.
The money raised from this skydive will go to the Centre for Military Justice, the charity who stood beside our family when we felt lost and overwhelmed. They provide free, independent legal support to service personnel and bereaved military families seeking answers, justice and accountability. Their support has been invaluable to us, and by raising money for them, we hope other families can receive the same support when they need it most.
Anthony will be linked to my JustGiving page and, if you feel able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean so much to us.
The skydive will take place from 1:30pm at Skydive North West, Flookburgh, LA11 7LS.
We would also love to see people there on the day to cheer Anthony and the team on as they take on this jump.
Afterwards, everyone is welcome back to the Manor House for a complimentary buffet, entertainment and a chance to spend time together.
Thank you to everyone who continues to stand beside our family and support Jaysley's Voice. To those who have messaged, shared their own experiences, asked for help, or spoken up after hearing Jaysley's story, You are the reason we keep going.
