“A friend told me they were doing a skydive, which is something I had thought about before, she asked if wanted to join so thought why not!

I chose to support the OPA after looking at a few options close to my heart, our family lost my grandma, uncle and aunt to oesophageal cancer, and I had not come across a charity dedicated to this previously, and so thought it was a good one to go for.

Apart from being cloudy all went well on the day and could see a fair way round the Lancashire coast!” – Katie Emsley

 

Thank you so much from all at the OPA!
