Laura's fundraising journey
Why are you fundraising for us and what will you be doing?
I believe that mental health plays a role in every young person's life at some point along the way, and knowing that there is somewhere they can turn to for help is extremely important.
That's why I took part in a 15,000 foot skydive on 1 May 2023.

I am from Magherafelt in Northern Ireland. However, I have been living in Devon for the past eight years.
I am a chief cardiac physiologist at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.
I have two children, Freddie and Darcie, and a fiancé, Robert. We are currently planning our wedding for 2024.
Why is mental health important to you?
In 2019 I almost lost my little sister twice due to mental health.
Fortunately she is still with us due to the help and support she eventually received.
She will be graduating as a paediatric nurse in winter this year.
