10 days until the big leap

Date published: 10 March 2010

Daring Rochdale Online reporter Laura Wild has now passed the £600 sponsorship mark thanks to kind donations made by Rochdale Online readers.

The brave journalist will jump out of a plane from 10,000 feet in a tandem skydive on Sunday 21 March - just ten days away, to raise money for Springhill Hospice.

Now, less a few weeks after starting her Everyday Hero donation webpage, she has already raised £625, passing her £395 target, which means she will get to do the jump for free.

Laura said: “Our readers have been tremendously encouraging and supportive because they know what a good cause it is.”

“Lots of local people know of Springhill Hospice and the great things they do. It will be a pleasure to be able to give them my generous sponsorship money.”

“There is less than two weeks until I do the sky dive and I really want to raise as much money as possible.

“Thank you very much to everyone, let's keep it going!"
