A Gedling woman is taking on a daring challenge in support of Newlife – the charity for disabled and terminally-ill children.
Grace Farnsworth will be taking a dive by jumping out of a plane on Saturday, April 22 to raise for funds to help disabled and terminally ill children in the county.
All monies raised will help Newlife provide specialist equipment for Nottinghamshire families.
If that wasn’t enough, Grace is holding a fundraising party on Saturday (March 25) from 7pm to midnight, at the The Elwes Arms in Carlton. There will be live music from Nottingham singer/songwriter Steve McGill, a raffle, traditional pub quiz and games with big prizes to be won.
Grace said: “I have fundraised for Newlife in the past; I wanted to do a skydive particularly because it has always been on my bucket list and it is something that I could potentially raise a lot of money and awareness for.
“I wanted to be able to do something for the children and their families that need extra help and support. The money that I raise will be used for practical, long lasting equipment that will really make a difference. The fundraising party has gotten off to a terrific start with support from The Elwes Arms in Carlton and landlady Beccy Webster, who not only has allowed me to hire the venue free of charge but is also providing food.”
Tickets for the party are priced at £4 and can be purchased from The Elwes Arms.
