Parachute jump is a leap of faith to boost charity

Suzanne Geary is planning to make her first parachute jump with two work colleagues this June to raise money for city-based charity the Royal National Institute of Blind People Scotland, where she works as a receptionist.

The 35-year-old said: “I feel that if I am going to raise funds for charity, I might as well do something spectacular.

“I did paragliding many years ago, and have always toyed with the idea of taking it further and doing a parachute jump.

“The subject came up at work while chatting with my colleagues Lisa, who is registered blind, and Derek, and they mentioned they were interested too.”
