FORTY people willing to jump out of a plane are being sought by St Richard's Hospice for its sponsored skydive.

The Worcestershire charity has arranged an exclusive skydive at Hinton Airfield in Oxfordshire, on Saturday, July 26.

The charity is looking for 40 daredevils to take part in the tandem skydiving challenge and raise much-needed cash for the hospice which cares for patients and families living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

Fund-raiser Joanna Street, said: "It is an amazing experience, leaping out of an aircraft above the clouds and parachuting down with an expert skydiver.

"It is an exhilarating way to raise funds for St Richard's. Last year, skydivers raised over £15,000 in an adrenalin filled day."

Those taking part need to raise a minimum sponsorship of £395 to qualify for the free skydive.
