Two Walsall Healthcare NHS workers are plucking up the courage to take part in a tandem skydive to raise money for the Well Wishers Charity.
Sarah Want from Willenhall and Emma Haldron from Bloxwich will be leaping from a plane at 14,000 feet on 9 July at Nottingham’s Langar Airfield and are hoping to raise £900.
“We have both signed up to do it which is exciting!” said Sarah. “We saw it on one of the internal staff emails, advertising for a charity sky jump and she said ‘if you do it, I will’.
“I’ve always wanted to do a sky dive and, with it raising money for a good cause, I just thought it’s probably the best time to do it.”
The plucky pair, who have worked for the Trust for a combined 13 years, have set up individual Just Giving pages for donations – Sarah Want, Emma Haldron.
“Now it’s getting closer, I’m getting very nervous but the more money we keep raising for a good cause I know will be worth it. I just hope someone pushes me out the plane!” said Emma.
“I’ve never done a sky dive before and I’m hoping it’s very safe – I’m living life a bit on the edge!”
The Well Wishers charity supports the work of the Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust by helping to fund equipment and resources to help patients and their families.
