STAFF from a local company jumped out of a plane raising £3,188 for a Coventry baby loss support charity.
Four members from Taylor Wimpey Midlands took part in the skydive which raised cash for The Lily Mae Foundation.
The charity provides support network to bereaved parents and families after loosing a baby.
Memory boxes and counselling services are available as well as training and support for midwives and social care professionals.
The Lily Mae Foundation conduct research into how to prevent the loss of a baby in the future.
Ryan Jackson, managing director at The Lily Mae Foundation, said: “We are thrilled to see the brave efforts of the Taylor Wimpey Midlands team in completing this skydive for our charity.
“The money they’ve raised helps us to help others facing incredibly challenging circumstances and we couldn’t be more grateful. A big thank you to all involved.”
Jaspreet Aujla, finance director at Taylor Wimpey Midlands, who completed the skydive on the day, said: “Wow, just wow – That was an amazing experience.
“The sense of freedom whilst falling (though it feels like flying) through the sky is wonderful, and to be able to do it whilst raising what is now over £3,000 for such a lovely charity is delightfully rewarding.
“If this is how much money we can raise from doing daft things like jumping out of a plane at 15,000 ft, then I suppose we should all start volunteering to do these amazing pursuits – it’s all for a good cause.”
