A STOURBRIDGE News reporter plunged from 13,000 feet in a daring tandem skydive to raise cash for the Primrose Hospice.
Tom Davis, aged 25, was among a group of 15 people taking part in the annual ‘Parachute for Primrose’ at Hinton Airfield in Brackley on Saturday September 23, freefalling at speeds of up to 120mph.
Tom, who raised £456, said: “It was an incredible experience.
“The feeling you get when you are dangling your legs over the edge of the plane about to jump is like no other, but the experience is such a thrill and one I will never forget.
“To raise money for such a wonderful charity too is a brilliant feeling. I would definitely recommend it.”
A record number of entrants helped raise more than £8,000 in the jump this year.
Hospice fundraising manager Emma Williams added: “Everyone that took part all had huge smiles on their faces at the end.
“A parachute for Primrose not only raises valuable funds for us, but also makes dreams come true."
