TPS colleague soars to new heights for Alzheimer’s Society

Total Plumbing Supplies (TPS) is congratulating team member Tara Sims for successfully completing a tandem skydive in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society. Tara, the manager at TPS’s Escape Bathroom Showroom in Shepton Mallet, has so far raised over £1,200 for the charity.

On Saturday 3rd August, Tara completed the tandem skydive from 15,000 feet at Dunkeswell Aerodrome in Honiton. This marked a personal achievement for Tara, who has never completed an extreme activity before.

Tara’s decision to take on this challenge was inspired by her grandad’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Witnessing the impact the condition has had on her grandad, nan, and family, Tara was determined to make a difference and contribute to the charity’s mission of supporting those affected by dementia.

Tara commented:

“I am overwhelmed by the generosity of my family, friends, and colleagues. Their support has helped me raise a fantastic amount for the Alzheimer’s Society – every penny donated will make a real difference to people living with dementia.

“The skydive was an incredible experience, and I enjoyed every moment of it – I would definitely do it again.”

Rob West, Regional Director at Total Plumbing Supplies, added:

“We’re proud to support our colleagues in their charitable efforts, and Tara’s decision to take on the skydive to raise money for such an important cause is commendable. Her determination to make a difference is something we fully support.”

Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity, providing vital information and support, improving care, funding research, and creating lasting change for those affected by dementia. Tara’s fundraising will help the charity continue its essential work in supporting individuals and families living with this horrible condition.
