IOM Chair Angie Aire and her colleagues recently dived out of a small plane near Lancaster - and all in aid of Breakthrough! (they did have parachutes)

Just after she jumped Angie emailed us to say

"We were all squashed together in the little plane(diver and instructor attached and a camera man each) but then the door opened and the freezing cold air rushed in and all we could see was the clouds - it was surreal when we sat on the edge of the plane and we flopped out - firstly 200mph and then when the little chute opened just 120mph for 50 seconds then the main chute opened and that was really something- then we came beneath the clouds and what a view!Saw Blackpool Tower in the distance.

 We 'flew' over the airfield and I waved and shouted to my mum & dad who came with me this time! It was very emotional actually when I touched down at 30mph but a great landing! If I get all my money in it will be over £700 - can't believe I have done it!"

Days later when she'd had chance to savour the experience she said

"It really was a fantastic experience! One I would love to repeat!"

Thanks to all those who "jumped" with Angie, they hope to raise £2500 for Breakthrough.
