A hospice charity which cares people with life-limiting illnesses in Bucks is asking daredevils from across the area to mark its 30th anniversary by hurling themselves from a plane at 13,000 ft.

Rennie Grove Hospice Care is looking for a team of brave people to take part in the special skydive day and raise funds for the charity.

On June 27 the charity has reserved places for the jumps which will take place at Hinton Airfield in Brackley.

Jo Hunt, Events Fundraiser who is also taking part in the jump, said: "Skydiving is an unbelievable and exhilarating rush like no other and with no experience required. Skydivers will be attached to an instructor and will then take part in a freefall at 13,000ft at a speed of 120mph through the clouds, before gliding back down to the ground below.

"It would be great to have 30 people taking part during our 30th anniversary year.

"The money raised will help support local people with cancer and life-limiting illness, what better incentive could there be to take to the skies for the experience of a lifetime?"

To take part all you need to do is pay a deposit of £70 before March 27 to secure your place and then raise a minimum of £395 in sponsorship.

Initially as independent charities, Grove House and Iain Rennie Hospice at Home both started from small beginnings in 1985. Together as Rennie Grove Hospice Care they cared for 3,000 patients and families across Bucks and Herts in 2013-14.
