3000 pounds for 3000 feet
On 26 June, Reach resident Jenny McMahon will be jumping out of an aeroplane at
between 2,000 and 3,000 feet above Chatteris - with a parachute! This will be
Jenny's first solo parachute jump and she is hoping to raise £3,000 for
local good causes.
Jenny admits to being "slightly nervous" but is keen to make the jump to help Swaffham Prior School, where she works and where her youngest son attends school, and the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
"The children really need some new playground equipment", says Jenny. "The existing equipment is very old now and not sufficient for the number of children at the school, or for the other children in the village who use the playground out of school hours. And I feel that we should all support the Air Ambulance, particularly since it has recently played such an important role for some of the families at the school."
Jenny plans to raise the money through sponsorship, collections at local events
and donations from local businesses. If you would like to help Jenny reach her
target, please contact Clare Freeman (01638 741316) to request a sponsorship
form or to make a donation.
