TWO members of staff from The Salon hairdresser’s in South Street, Wellington, are getting set to raise money for a good cause in a parachute jump at Dunkeswell Airfield.

Caroline Ellis, 19, and Stacey Berry, 32, will perform a tandem parachute jump from 15,000 feet on Thursday, July 21, in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The jump is in memory of Caroline’s mother Jane Ellis, who suffered from Multiple Sclerosis for 17 years and died in February aged 53.

Stacey said: “I am petrified of even flying, so I am scared but excited. I am concentrating on raising money, rather than the jump. My mother thinks I have gone mad.”

Caroline and Stacey have already raised about £200 but want to raise as much money as possible – anyone who would like to sponsor them should visit their Just Giving page at Page-www.justgiving.com/
