Funds Raised For Cancer Charity From Sky Dive

Thu, 25 Oct 2018

Two friends have taken part in a charity skydive in aid of Breast Cancer Now.

Island residents Hayley Curtis and Laura Mackie travelled to Black Knights Parachute Centre in Lancaster to take part in Breast Cancer Now’s flagship skydive, the ‘Big Pink Jump’, on 14th October.

So far the duo have raised more than £1,500 for Breast Cancer Now through sponsorship of the jump, with money still coming in.

Hayley commented: It really was an amazing experience and something we will never forget. Throwing yourself out of a plane three miles above the ground is pretty daunting, but knowing that we’d already received over £1,000 in donations spurred us both on to do it – we are immensely proud of our achievement and grateful to everyone who has sponsored us.

‘We are delighted to raise such a fantastic amount (which is still increasing) for a deserving charity close to our hearts. It makes the jump more than worthwhile.’
