M's Skydive, November 2017

The lovely 'M', aka Marie Smith, did a skydive to raise money for cancer. For those who don't know, 'M' is a cancer survivor and continues her fight against the disease.

"I was diagnosed with stomach cancer three and half years ago now. Chemo, stomach removed and further chemo I'm still here fighting, despite being given a 15% chance of surviving five years.

I'm over half way through the years I was given but I'm not letting them stop me. With the help of my loving partner I've been working on my bucket list and a parachute jump has always been up there ever since I saw my Dad do his first jump.

So when the Cancer Society Canterbury - West Coast Division put up about their Jump for Cancer 2017, I knew this was a cause I had to support."


M raised a total of $1506.87 (NZ dollars).

Well done, M!
