Jack's Charity Skydive

POSTED: 26/01/2022

Taking a leap of faith...

 

Our very own Motorcycle Technician, Jack Lee, will be jumping out of a plane at tremendous height to raise money for Cancer Research UK on the 8th of May 2022.

Jack's life, like lots around the world, has been affected dearly by cancer and he is doing his part in raising money to find a cure for this sometimes-life-destroying disease.

'I'm going to be strapped to a man and thrown out of a plane...'

In 2015 our very own Motorcycle Technician Jack Lee experienced, like many across the world, the pure horror of finding out his mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Regardless of how common you hear it happening to people in your social circles, you never imagine it happening to someone you love that's so close to you. 

She continued to show a brave face and fight the disease during her treatment which involved various procedures such as Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and a Mastectomy. While fighting this life-threatening disease she made it clear just how strong of a woman she was as she continued to be upbeat around her family and friends. Jack mentions that had she not have lost her hair, you would have never known. As she concluded her treatment it was confirmed that she had beaten it.

Unfortunately, after nearly five years in remission and as things were returning to what seemed like normality - Jack's mother was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, which had spread throughout her body. The doctors this time informed the family that the cancer was treatable but incurable. Nevertheless, this beyond inspirational woman has taken it on again, with the same strength and bravery she showed all those years ago.

Every donation means the world - and Jack sends his appreciation in advance.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policiy and regulatory complaints.
