"I never imagined myself taking on a skydive..." 🌟
Last year, our amazing receptionist Andrea stepped way outside her comfort zone and took the leap! Literally, 10,000ft up!
Andrea told us, "It was something completely out of my comfort zone, but that's exactly why I wanted to do it. It reminded me of just what we can achieve when we challenge ourselves. Knowing I was doing it to support the hospice made every moment even more meaningful. I did it, and I tell others that they can too!" 💙
If you've ever thought about doing something big, bold, and unforgettable... this is your time! Take on a skydive for Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw and make a difference.
Every jump helps us be there for patients and families, offering support at some of the hardest moments in their lives.
