Jumping Out Of A Plane @ 10,000ft For My Brother
Donation protected
Hello All, my name, for those that don't know me, is Connor - I am Lewis' older brother...as you all have seen by now I recently lost my beloved brother, Lewis, very suddenly a few weeks ago now, back now on the 9th November. We are not 100% sure why just yet but we are led to believe it was because of a very large blood clot in his lung. Not only did we, as a family have to go through this horrific loss that day/ night, this was the same day as our Mothers Birthday and the same day as Lewis' new nephew (my son) was born!
Esmé, his and his fiancés gorgeous daughter, will be left to grow up without a Husband/ Daddy to hold and cuddle when she's scared or upset, let alone even having the chance to get to know what he was like as a person...witty, smart, loyal, his passion for cooking was a million to one and patience of a saint, just to name a few!
Reading and hearing about people’s loss is tragic and losing a loved one is always difficult to fully understand, but to experience it first-hand, it has been, up to this point, just physically, mentally and emotionally unbearable. We all miss him, undoubtedly, unbelievable amounts but nothing will ever fill the gap that he's left us with...
People say to 'keep talking', 'distract yourself' and 'you learn to deal with it in time'... I am sorry to be a glass half empty at the moment but this is not enough to help deal with the pain, emotional distress, sleepless nights, pretending each and every morning will be different, each morning will be better and saying "todays going to be ok, todays going to better than yesterday"...when truly, today is another day without my brother... todays another day I have to pretend to the world I am ok...
...So, I have pledged to help support, love, and care for his family, just as much as my own and make sure his beautiful daughter can have the best possible start in life as I know Lewis would have given her with...unfortunately I can't do it alone. I really need your help...
Wednesday 10th August I, along with others (Mum, Dad, close friends, and family), will be jumping out of a plane flying 10,000ft in the air from Sandown Airport...
...no, I am not doing this for my enjoyment
...yes, I am really scared of heights (or its at least the fear of falling towards earth face first, having my stomach in my mouth and my legs behind my head out of physical control)
...yes, I know there is a parachute, and everything will be ok, but this is not easy for me as with age you seem to over think things
…I am sure Lewis will be sat there with the biggest grin on his face knowing I'm really not ok with this jumping out of a plane thing and having the last laugh.
***If you can/ want to help, please, sponsor me, so together we can help support, love and care for his little girl and help raise some much-needed money for Esmé for when she comes of age.***
Whether it be £5 or £50, every single donation made, I know Lewis would be so proud and in awe that we are able to help provide help for Esmé's future.
I can't say thank you enough to really get the message across as sincerity is hard to express typing and reading words - but from the bottom of my heart and from Lewis, I am sure, Thank You! <3
