ADVENTUROUS volunteers are needed for a sponsored charity parachute jump.

Marie Curie Cancer Care, which sponsors nurses working to help cancer sufferers in the two counties, has urged county residents to sign up for either a tandem skydive from 10,000 feet, or a static line jump performed solo from up to 3,000 feet.

Volunteers can jump at any one of 23 British Parachute Association- approved airfields.
