Charlotte Parker, her sister Alice and stepdad Leslie Wainwright are going to skydive from 10,000 feet in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association!

Charlotte, Alice and Lez decided to do a tandem skyjump from 10,000 feet after Lez was diagnosed with MND in February.

Charlotte, who has been a Darlo fan for fourteen years, explains why they’re going to do such a daredevil feat.

“My step dad Lez got the diagnosis of MND in February and it was only once he got his diagnosis that we looked into the disease and realised the brutality of it.

“So he made a bucket list, as the reality is that the MND can only get worse, and one of the things at the top of his list was to do a skydive. I thought that we could do it for charity in hope to raise awareness of this horrid disease. So we booked up, and my sister Alice agreed to do it with me and Lez too.

“BBC Breakfast are hoping to film it live using go pro’s as they have done a story on Lez’s fantastic achievement of managing to climb the steps at the National arboretum to see the names of those he served alongside in the RAF.

“We hope to raise further awareness of the disease and raise money for such an amazing charity - Motor Neurone Disease Association. As little as £30 buys an adapted cutlery set to help someone with MND continue to feed themselves, and as much as £3,500 buys a lightwriter to give someone with MND the ability to continue to communicate with their loved ones.”
