Make 2nds Count Skydive 2023
Evan Moffitt
My Story
My name is Evan Moffitt. I’m 21 years old, and my mom was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer two years ago.
My mom and I had planned for years to go skydiving together when I turned 18. But—I turned 18 in 2020, and the Covid pandemic ruined our plans that year. The next year we learned that she had cancer that had spread throughout many bones, including in her spine creating a spinal cord injury.
Now my mom’s disease has been stable and she had a major spine surgery to repair some of the damage. She’s able to walk again and do most activities in daily life. With her bone damage, though, she can’t do the skydive with me, but I’m thrilled that she’ll be on the ground, watching me and cheering me on.
I wanted my skydive to be more than a personal adventure. All the money I’m raising goes to Make 2nds Count, a UK-wide charity that focuses on secondary breast cancer. They do great patient support, provide counseling on clinical trials, and fund research to give secondary breast cancer patients a longer, better life. I hope you’ll learn more about the meaningful work they’re doing.
Join me in this adventure by contributing whatever you can! Together we can raise funds and awareness that makes a real difference for the thousands of people living with secondary breast cancer—people like my mom.
