@vickyjopink1 Awe thank you!! I never would’ve believed I’d do it 😂

[Jake McCandless @JakeMcCx]

It’s safe to say Friday was absolutely incredible and we beat our target of £1,000 for @KeeleCFR! Definitely a birthday to remember! 🪂

@ShellyKayA @KeeleCFR Thank you!!

[Jake McCandless @JakeMcCx]

I can't believe my skydive is tomorrow!! We are SO close to our goal of £1,000 for @officialwmas @KeeleCFR - link to donate in my bio!

It will be a 20th birthday to remember for @KeeleCFR Jake on Friday, as he skydives from 13,000ft to raise money for his CFR scheme…not bad for someone who is petrified of heights! 🪂

You can support his fund-raising here - https://t.co/nKybdJ7qMZ

Just two days to go before I take the leap! 😱

A leap of faith and a marathon challenge for fund-raising CFRs

Just over two weeks now until my skydive! 😱

[Keele Community First Responders @KeeleCFR]

Over the next 2 months both Chris and Jake are undertaking amazing fundraising challenges.
On the 8th March Jake is taking on a 13,000 feet sky dive to raise money for the scheme. And then on the 21st April Chris is running the London marathon.

Two of our CFRs, Yasmin and Catherine, booked on with our brand new car last night.

They were very happy with the new car, which was made possible by support from the local community.

Hey everyone, I've decided to take my fundraiser a step further. Since jumping out of a plan is a pretty extreme fundraiser, I thought we should have a pretty extreme fundraising goal. Let's try and raise £1,000 for @KeeleCFR ! https://t.co/AUDlQxTjrl

[Jake McCandless @JakeMcCx]

Starting to get real now 😱 - only 44 days to go!! Please share this far and wide! @KeeleCFR #WMAS #Keele

[Jake McCandless @JakeMcCx]

Well, I can't quite believe I'm doing this! On 8th March 2024 I'll be facing my biggest fear by doing a Charity Skydive to raise money for the Keele Community First Responder Scheme! It would mean the world to me if you could share & donate ❤️

@gareth_grier I did a study on this back when I was an A-Level student. Measured massive increases in confidence scores in all pupils aged 7-18 having taken part in a CPR teaching session. Delivered sessions to every pupil in the school across 1 week. Needs to be done everywhere!

@ianlewins Thank you!

Hugely happy day for me today having been discharged from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! I was in a really low place when I started, but I can honestly say I now feel like a different person! Accessing MH treatment is nothing to be ashamed of, and I’m proud of the journey I’m on!

Today is #InternationalVolunteerDay!

Without our amazing volunteers, we wouldn't be able to do what we do. Thank you, for all your hard work!

Had my first meeting with my @KeeleMedSchool Practice Development Tutor today and it’s given me a real boost with my overall uni motivation and definitely helped with the imposter syndrome! 🩺
