Gill takes enormous leap for Shine!

27th September 2024

 

Gill Valentine, Director of Services here at Shine, is facing her fear of heights as she will be flying high with a skydive on Friday 4th October.

 “I joined Shine 18 months ago and have seen our members, their families and friends and my colleagues raise money so we can continue to provide our services. So why not me! I am not a risk taker and don't really like heights, but what an opportunity to take part in an activity that is completely different and out of my comfort zone, whilst raising money for a great charity and awareness of spina bifida and hydrocephalus at the same time!” says Gill.  
 
If you, like Gill want to raise awareness and money for Shine, there are many ways you can do so, you don’t need to jump out of plane to help us!  
 
Donate to Gills Skydive: Every contribution, no matter how small, significantly furthers Shine's cause. To donate  and support Gill’s efforts, please visit her Just Giving page and sponsor her here. 

Make Your Own Impact: Perhaps a bake sale is more your style, or perhaps organising a sponsored walk... there are lots of ways you can help Shine with any fundraising activity. Here are some ideas as inspiration. 

Share Our Message:  Help us spread the word about Gill’s skydive and her dedication to raising funds for Shine. Share her story and JustGiving page with your friends, family, and network. 

Our collective support makes a huge difference for individuals and families navigating life with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. 

Thank you Gill! We will all be cheering you on with our feet firmly on the ground below.
