Brave Islanders Jump Out Of Plane From 10,000ft In Aid Of The Wight Brainy Bunch

A group of brave Islanders are jumping out of a plane over Sandown to raise funds for The Wight Brainy Bunch today (Wednesday).

Since 9am, the group of 23 people have been heading to the skies from Sandown Airport with Skydive Isle of Wight to jump from an impressive 10,000 feet.

Dan Rowling, who says he's facing his biggest fear in memory of his best friend Ant Harris, said:

"I'm doing this because Wight Brainy Bunch are quite simply a superb charity that helps those suffering with loss or the effects that a brain tumour can have. They're fantastic dedication have helped so many people and they can't do it alone.

"I lost my best friend to a brain tumour 19 years ago. When I think about who I'm doing this for, it gives me the motivation to consider that some people have and are going through a lot worse than I ever have.

"And if I can just raise that bit more for the outstanding charity The Wight Brainy Bunch for all the hard work they do, especially Kathryn Grimes and her husband Mark. It will make this all the more worthwhile."

In a post on Facebook, The Wight Brainy Bunch said:

"We simply can't do all we do without the amazing support of each and every one of you and we cannot even begin to thank you enough for all you do to raise funds for."
