Skydivers to raise money for St Clare Hospice

Published 01/16/2012

An adventurous fundraiser is seeking sponsorship for a 13,000ft skydive – on the day before her 21st birthday - to raise money for St Clare Hospice.

Fiona Lynch is one of a number of people the hospice hope will be taking to the skies in the coming months.

Fiona will be taking part in a skydive in Beccles, Suffolk, on Friday, June 15 – the birthday of her aunt who was cared for at the Hastingwood hospice.

Fiona’s aunt, Stephanie Baldwin, lived in Harlow and battled cervical cancer and ovarian cancer before it spread to her liver. She sadly died at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow, on February 1, 2009.

Fiona, who lives in Braintree and works as a Personal Assistant, aims to raise over £500 for St Clare Hospice.

She said: “My aunt, Stephanie Baldwin, was a patient at St Clare before she lost her five-year battle to cancer in February 2009. I've been thinking what I could do to raise money for St Clare's for quite a while and decided a skydive would be the most adventurous and exciting thing.

"I'm not scared of heights so fingers crossed I should be ok!

"I've chosen June 15 as it's a special date for my family. I was surprised to find that the only training you need to skydive is a short brief prior to the jump. However I'll be taking part in a tandem jump with a fully-qualified instructor so I'm not too worried. I think as I'm going up in the plane, that's when the nerves will kick in!"

As well as taking part in the skydive on the eve of her 21st birthday, Fiona’s jump will be exactly a year to the day before her wedding!

If you feel inspired and challenged by Fiona’s story you can register for a group 10,000ft jump in Peterborough on Saturday, April 14.

The hospice is looking for 15 brave adrenaline junkies to jump for the hospice. You can download an information pack – from the hospice websitewww.stclarehospice.org.uk (http://www.stclarehospice.org.uk/pdf/120109ParachutePack14thApril2012.pdf) - which includes a reservation and sponsor form.

If you raise £395 in sponsorship, you can jump for free!

If the thought of taking to the skies isn’t for you, you can sponsor Fiona by visiting her Just Giving webpage -www.justgiving.com/The-Angel-Charity-SkyDive

For more about the group skydive, call Tracy on 01279 773750 or emailfund@stclarehospice.org.uk.

Anyone who would like to take part in the skydive but is not available on April 14 can arrange an alternative date. Jumps happen six days a week.
