Cheltenham solicitor Caroline Gardner
has raised £1,100 with a daring charity stunt. The
32-year-old, who works for Rickerbys in Wellington
Street, took part in a parachute jump to raise money for
the
Kambia Hospital Appeal.
The Cheltenham charity is equipping a new hospital in
Sierra Leone. And the money will go towards a new £6,000
ultrasound machine for the hospital.
Caroline, who did the jump at the Duke of Gloucester
Barracks in South Cerney, said: "I was very nervous
but it was the most amazing experience. While I was
going up in the plane, all I could think about was the
money I
was raising for the hospital. It helped me keep my
nerve."
Spokesman for the KHA James Dowling said:
"Caroline's one of our most recent recruits to the
Kambia Committee and has shown her true support by
jumping out of a plane to raise money. She's determined
to help Kambia. It's an example of what people in
Cheltenham are prepared to do for our appeal."
