Annoula Wilby and eight brave friends took their fundraising to new heights with a spectacular skydive from Tilstock airport on May 5, all in aid of raising vital funds for disabled children.

The event was a huge success, with everyone who took part determined to help raise funds for Newlife. Annoula said: “It was such an honoured feeling to see all the skydiver’s faces once they had completed their dive.”

The skydive is one of many events Annoula and her friends are have planned this year to support Newlife. Events are set to include a boxing match, bag packing at Tesco’s, a festival, an It’s a Knockout style event and a ball.
