Today we want to give a huge shout out to of a group of dedicated ladies who have been working together for many years to support women with physical and learning disabilities. Over time, they have become a close-knit family at Edgar Street Residential Home.
In November, their world was rocked when their colleague Charlotte’s 5-year-old son, Salahman, was diagnosed with Leukaemia. This news was absolutely devastating for the Khan family, and it has been heartbreaking for the Edgar Street family as well. Whilst they have done their best to offer support, they realised that there was so much more that they wanted to do, but they felt very limited in what they could provide.
That’s when they decided to take action! So recently a very brave team of 6 arrived at the Black Knights Skydiving Centre. They were joined by a group of fabulous supporters, all ready to cheer them on. The weather was perfect for jumping out of a plane, and we are thrilled to say every single one of them successfully completed their skydive, jumping from a whopping 15,000 feet!
As well as making this jump the team wanted to use the opportunity to raise money for Milly’s Smiles as they knew all about the support we provided, when Salahman was first diagnosed.
A huge thank you to everyone who jumped from the skies, to the people who have supported them along the way and to everyone who has donated. We are humbled by such incredible support, it really does mean the world to us.
