On Wednesday, 5th March, five very brave souls took a giant leap into the spring blue skies over Langar for charity. Led by Nottinghamshire Law Society's President, Lauren Crow, the team consisted of Simon Clare, Aldijana Hoad, Deputy Vice President, Drew Dennis, and charity ambassador, Debbi Marlow. They pledged to skydive for the charity Harmless and Tomorrow's Project.
Harmless and Tomorrow Project are the nominated President's charities, close to Lauren's heart as she tragically lost her father to suicide during her childhood. The team's courageous act not only aimed to raise awareness but also to support these vital organizations.
The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly as each team member donned their parachute equipment. After a thorough briefing, they climbed into the plane, ready for their tandem jump with the professionals.
Charity ambassador, Debbi Marlow was the first to take the jump. Smiling from start to landing, she felt exhilarated and wanted to go up again!
Next to follow were Lauren and her fiancé, Simon Clare, followed by Drew Dennis and Aldijana Hoad. The last paired jump came with its own bit of jeopardy, as Aldijana's parachute tangled and they were forced to land with the emergency chute. Believe you me, our hearts were in our mouths as we watched her descend to planet Earth!
The event was a testament to their bravery and commitment to making a difference. Their leap of faith is sure to inspire others and bring much-needed attention to the causes they support.
The fundraising pot is still open for donations. After seeing these amazing photographs taken by Jay Glenn, SHOW Photography, you may wish to donate the price of a Costa coffee to the cause - DONATE HERE!
