Grandma and dad in skydive to thank charity for its help

“Both Mollie and I feel so passionately about The Sick Children’s Trust after they helped our families when we needed it the most.

“By the charity giving me free ‘Home from Home’ accommodation in its Eckersley House in Leeds, I was able to be with Nathan in his last days which was the most important thing in the world.

“If I’d had to drive back home every night, leaving him in hospital, it doesn’t even bear thinking about.

“And at this most traumatic time of my life, the team at Eckersley House were there, supporting me in whatever way they could.

“For that, I will always be incredible grateful which is why in a week’s time I will be jumping out of a plane with Mollie.” Mollie, said: “I can’t thank The Sick Children’s Trust enough for keeping my daughter-inlaw, Chrissy, by my granddaughter Darcey’s side when everything felt so out of control.

“The charity kept them together when it mattered the most, so we want to give something back and ensure families going through a similar experience have the support of the Sick Children’s Trust.”

Matthew and Mollie are hoping to boost Scissett Working Men’s Club’s £5,000 fundraising target, which has already passed the halfway point.
