Earlier this month, Melanie Allen did an amazing 15,000ft skydive to raise money for West Sussex Mind and Home start Arun Worthing and Adur. She wanted to do something outside her comfort zone to fundraise for two charities who she says have "helped massively in my parenthood journey during some of my darkest parenting days when I was struggling with postnatal depression and anxiety, and for the support my family still receives now." 💙
We salute Mel's bravery and her skydiving achievement and thank her wholeheartedly for fundraising for us. So far, she has raised over £1,000 plus Gift Aid for the two charities🙏🏾
She says: "During the build up to the skydive, I felt a lot of different emotions, mainly anxious feelings but also excitement. However, on the day, I was excited and ready to brave the jump, knowing that I had raised over £1000 and that money is going to help other families the way it has helped mine.
"But I also felt incredibly proud of myself for doing something new, something for myself and something way out of my comfort zone. Doing the jump has made me realise I am able to do new things that I wouldn’t normally do and be able to enjoy myself whilst doing it!"
Bravo Mel! 🥳
