Olivia Fairbank raised £6,000 by skydiving for Brain Tumour UK after her aunt was diagnosed with a tumour.

Olivia from Oxfordshire, pictured here, says: “I just cannot explain how amazing it is.

“Once you are up in the plane there is nothing you can do. You think, ‘Oh my God, I am going to die!’ but it is just the most amazing thing going through the clouds.

"It was a beautiful day; I could see everything. I was scared but once you get up there, you forget it.”

You can take the plunge for Brain Tumour UK at any of 22 locations around the UK, joining the 20,000 people who make their first parachute descent each year. Follow their example and help us raise vital funds to support people affected by brain tumour. You’ll need to raise a minimum amount of £395 in sponsorship.
