Simon Thomas interviewed on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’ about his Wing Walk for Blood Cancer
TV presenter Simon Thomas, who also serves as President of Blood Cancer UK, took on a Wing Walk challenge with us to raise both funds and awareness for the charity's vital work.
Simon has been a passionate advocate for blood cancer research since the loss of his wife, Gemma, who sadly passed away from acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in 2017.
Since then, he has dedicated his time to supporting Blood Cancer UK and helping to fund research that could improve outcomes for those affected by the disease.
Simon stepped out of his comfort zone and into the skies, taking on the exhilarating challenge of wing walking. Standing atop a flying aircraft, he helped draw attention to the charity's mission while inspiring others to support blood cancer research and awareness initiatives.
Following the event, Simon spoke about his experience and the importance of the cause during an appearance on ITV's Lorraine, sharing why the challenge meant so much to him and highlighting the ongoing need for support for Blood Cancer UK and the families affected by blood cancer.
Queen of the Ballroom, Shirley Ballas
Shirley Ballas took Strictly ballroom to new heights when she completed a courageous charity Wing Walk experience with us in support of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
Featured in the Daily Mail, the Wing Walk formed part of a special “Skyathon” campaign designed to raise both vital funds and awareness for CALM, a charity dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting those struggling with mental health challenges.
Shirley's motivation for taking on the challenge was deeply personal. She participated in memory of her brother, David, who sadly died at the age of 44 after suffering from depression. By sharing her story and stepping far outside her comfort zone, Shirley helped shine a spotlight on the importance of mental health awareness and support.
Despite the daunting nature of standing atop a flying aircraft, Shirley embraced the experience with determination and courage, inspiring supporters across the country. Her efforts proved incredibly successful, raising more than £30,000 for CALM and helping to further the charity’s life-saving work.
The Wing Walk was not only an unforgettable personal achievement but also a powerful reminder of the impact that fundraising challenges can have in bringing people together for an important cause.
