Lend your support to ERIC's brave band of skydivers

Thanks to the support of Wellspect HealthCare, seven people are raising much needed funds for ERIC when they take to the skies above Salisbury on Saturday 7 July. For Alice Cheer, it will be her second jump for ERIC in support of her brother, Seb, who has lived with a daytime bladder problem and bedwetting all his life.

Discover why Alice feels so passionate about helping children and young people who are struggling with continence difficulties and her hopes for ending the stigma around these issues.
