Man's skydive in memory of mum who died after bowel cancer battle

After losing his mother to bowel cancer in May 2021, David Wong decided he was going to raise funds for Liverpool Clatterbridge who had cared and treated his mother.

As part of his bucket list he had always wanted to skydive and, whilst looking at a Facebook page about cancer charities, he saw skydiving. David said: “I will have a go at that, I get to do the skydive for charity and at the same time I can tick it off my bucket list."

He booked at the Black Knights Parachute Centre in Lancashire and on the day he was supported by his dad and two brothers who went with him. He set a target of just £400 and surprised himself by raising £2,390.
