A Leap of Fear – Ana Gomez

Why is Ana fundraising for the Bradley Unit?

On 12th September 2026 Ana will be jumping out of a plane and willingly stepping into fear.

But for patients at the Bradley Unit, fear isn’t a choice. It arrives without warning and changes lives in an instant.

Every day, people come here having lost independence, confidence, and certainty about the future. Recovery is slow, exhausting and emotional and it takes courage just to keep going.

This skydive is Ana’s moment of fear. The courage shown by patients every single day is far greater.

A new programme series

Starting Monday 7th September at 7pm. Each week Mike Maingard invites a special guest to share the stories and turning points that shaped their life, and the music that soundtracked them. Every guest chooses the eight songs that mean the most to them, the one book they could never leave behind, and a single luxury to keep them comfortable on a lonely shore. Along the way, Mike uncovers the memories, joys and struggles behind each choice.
