Charity

At High Performance Academy, we are passionate about contributing to society and community. We have two specific charities that we support.

SANDS

Jo is Patron of SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity) due to her own personal experience of losing a baby. Other members of the team have been affected too so it’s a charity that holds a very important place in our hearts. Most of our events have some sort of charity element. Our aim is to raise awareness of the issues and also to raise money too. We have raised over £20 000 so far and our fund raising efforts will continue in this area.

Birmingham Children’s Hospital

Jo is also committed to health and fitness and in September 2010 decided to stretch her limits even further by doing the Birmingham Half Marathon. She completed it in a respectable 2 hour 20 mins.

Her chosen charity was Birmingham Children’s Hospital. They are one of the leading Children’s Hospitals in the country but Jo is particularly interested to help them raise money for research whilst babies are in the womb.
