Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My close friend and Klara's partner, Leon, has recently been diagnosed with a GIST (tumour). This is a very rare type of cancer, especially in Leon's age group.

We are fundraising for the cancer charity 'GIST Support UK'. Many of you will never have heard of a 'GIST' ( a gastrointestinal stromal tumour) and neither had we until Leon, age just 35, was diagnosed with a 'sizeable' GIST' in October 2016. Doctors said by the time they diagnosed it the tumour had already spread.

There are lots of fundraising activities going on to try and reach Leon's goal of raising £10,000 for this little known cause. 'TeamCallon' is set up by Leon's mate Andy Jones. Various members of his family and his friends are running half marathon's for this great cause and Klara and I wanted to do this skydive to do our bit to help Leon reach his target.

Please help us by giving what you can to this amazing cause. Leon is an awesome friend and partner with a real zest for life. Let's knock this target out of the water!!

TeamCallon is a huge bunch of people all raising money for ONE cause- please, please, please help if you can!!
