UPDATE: 70 year old's skydive for charity

(C) Christian Aid 2024 - Anne Baker, getting ready to jump!

A 70 year old from East Preston has successfully taken part in a sponsored skydive over Salisbury.

Anne Baker has raised over £1,000 for international development agency Christian Aid.

The organisation helps millions in the most vulnerable communities transform lives.

Anne said "It was a beautiful sunny day with only a few wispy clouds in the sky. The free fall was terrifying but once the parachute opened it was an exhilarating experience.

“At the age of 70 I was definitely the "Granny" of the group but I'm so pleased to have had the experience.

“I think there will still be a few more donations but to date, with the sponsorship in cash plus on the Just Giving page we have raised £1,125.00.

“Christian Aid is a wonderful charity working tirelessly to help communities in the poorest countries around the world with things we take for granted.”

Anyone who would still like to support Anne can visit her fundraising page - https://www.justgiving.com/page/annebakergrannysleapoffaith - and to find out more about the work of Christian Aid and how to get involved go to
