The event will take place at Headcorn Aerodrome on Saturday July 20th and pics will follow to prove this brave young lady did the deed.
Thanks, guys & gals.

Great thing to do though
Thank you so much for sponsoring & please forward me your daughter's details & link when you have them.
I’d do it again in a heartbeat 👍
Pippa wants to give a massive thanks to everyone that has sponsored her so far, with a special mention to a very generous Lifer who hails from SE16. A true star !
A lovely touch.
Don’t forget to send us updates Nanny! 🥰
Having passed her driving test first time on Weds , this is turning out to be quite a momentous week !
After waiting for the cloud cover to dissipate & 3 groups to go up, up, & away (& down ), it was Pippa's turn alongside 8 other brave souls.
We watched the plane take off & circle above Headcorn Aerodrome, getting higher & higher until it disappeared from view. A somewhat nervous 30 seconds passed before "pinpricks " began to appear through the thinning clouds - then the parachutes became clearer as they descended into view together with dangling legs !
One seemed to take longer than the rest...." I bet that's Pippa!" said her Mum, and it was.
The landing area was too far away for us to pick her out but when all concerned had boarded the LandRover bringing them "home" we caught a glimpse of her, thankfully with a rosy complexion, NOT the green one I'd feared. Job done.
She admitted that she'd felt a bit nauseous in the plane but the actual skydive was enjoyable with fantastic views over the Kent/E Sussex countryside.
I have a couple of photos to attach but am finding it rather tricky, but when I get the necessary assistance, I'll put them up here...but don't get too excited.....
Once again, thank you all so much for your interest and for the generous donations received which will help blind dogs to live happy & as normal lives as possible. Just under £700 was raised for this good cause.
One thing in life you can count on.
Charlton Lifers.
