Overview
- Sunnybrook confirmed that Prince Harry will take part in a fundraising skydive this month to benefit Sunnybrook and the True Patriot Love Foundation, and Ed Marshall’s grandson Bailey will jump in the veteran’s place.
- The skydive fulfills a pledge Harry made after meeting 102‑year‑old World War II paratrooper Ed Marshall at Sunnybrook’s veterans centre during a visit last November.
- Organizers have not disclosed the exact date or location for the event, though they say Harry will jump alongside other veterans sometime in September.
- The stunt could serve as one of Harry’s first public engagements since he and his family returned to the U.K. from California in late August, and the duke confirmed his participation by phone in recent weeks.
- The jump builds on Harry’s long record of work with veterans and related groups, recalls Marshall’s fundraising skydive at age 100, and aims to send donations to veteran care programs and services supported by the two charities.
