Take the plunge for Beckton children’s hospice
ADRENALINE junkies are being sought to take the plunge in aid of a Newham children’s hospice.
Beckton-based Richard House is looking for brave jumpers to take part in a 10,000 ft tandem skydive.
It will take place on Saturday, May 7, in Brackley, near Milton Keynes.
Father-of-two Bryan Pritchard is one of those who took part last year, raising �1,000 for the charity’s vital work.
“I chose Richard House because I am a parent of two brilliant children,” he said.
“They have always been healthy and I feel extremely lucky that they are.
“If anyone is thinking of doing this then they shouldn’t hesitate - the training is first-class, the equipment is second-to-none and the experience is unforgettable.
