Rachel was inspired to raise money for this cause as her godson, Callum Waters, whose mother Sarah Waters (who formally worked for The College) has the very rare condition. Despite being incredibly happy and bright, Callum may have to face some real challenges later on in life.
Rachel is nervous but excited about the jump and says, "There is still not enough known about this rare syndrome and more advances in treatment need to be made. That's the reason I'm hurling myself out of an aeroplane, to raise money for this loveable little boy and worthy cause"
Sturge Weber syndrome becomes apparent at birth; the infant will have a large port-wine stain birthmark on their forehead and upper eyelid of one side of their face in which they will have muscle weakness. They're also at risk of seizure that begin at infancy but may worsen with age.
Please help Rachel, and those who are suffering from the condition, by sponsoring her. You can visit her website www.flynngoessplat.co.uk to make your donation, or alternatively for those who attend the college there will be a collection at reception.
