Lauren prepares to skydive for charity
Lauren McDermott, a member of St. Cuthbert’s congregation is preparing to skydive to raise money for a charity that is close to her heart. She’s raising money for Endometriosis South Coast, which has helped her cope with a painful condition.
Lauren now hopes to raise awareness of this painful condition by bravely leaping out of a plane this September. The 24-year-old wants to raise money for the new charity Endometriosis South Coast via a sponsored skydive from 15,000 feet. And she’d love you to sponsor her.
Lauren successfully completed her skydive on Saturday 9th October but it’s not too late to sponsor her, visit Lauren’s Skydive below.
