Husband and wife Niyutee and Rakesh Khetani, from Stanmore are getting ready to jump out of plane at 10,000 feet as they are aiming to raise £10,000 for The Children's Trust. The campaign is set up to support children with brain injuries. They were inspired to take on the challenge of skydiving because of their 3 year old son Kai who had suffered a serious brain injury after being involved in a car accident when he was two. During that time Kai had spent 8 month recovering at the The Children's Trust where he underwent intensive rehabilitation in order to re-learn how to move and communicate.
Niyutee said that The Children's Trust holds a special place in their hearts as they supported the couple immensely whilst their son was going through his treatment. The Trust had provided sharing experiences with other parents, simple equipment like dining tables to accommodate parents which allowing parents to stay onsite with their children all the time. One big motivation factor for them has been for their son as they want to show him that they can be brave as he has been over the last year. The skydive will be taking place on September 23rd as a part of The Children's Trust #MyBrave campaign which encourages people to do something courageous to help raise money for charity.
