Telford bar worker taking plunge in skydive for Shropshire hospitals
A bar worker from Telford is preparing to take the plunge in a sponsored sky dive in aid of Shropshire's two main hospitals.
Sarah Rigby, of Oakengates, plans to jump out of a plane at Hinstock, near Market Drayton, on June 26.
She is hoping to raise £1,750 for the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, which runs Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
The 45-year-old says PRH has helped members of her family with cancer in the past so the cause is close to her heart.
She has raised more than £1,000 so far through pledges made directly, and donations via an online fundraising page.
The mother-of-one, who works at The Bell and Winking Frog pubs in Shifnal, said: "It's something I've always wanted to do.
"I'm really excited about going up, although a bit worried about the landing.
"I've always struggled with my hips but I've just had a new one.
"Now I've got the new one I'm doing very well. There's nothing holding me back."
She thanked everyone who has donated so far, adding: "People have been very generous.
"If I can reach that £1,750 mark I will be over the moon."
