They took part in a 10,000ft skydive and raised £2,046 for breast cancer research. 20 year old Jess is a fashion student at Coventry University, and she decided to raise some money for Breast Cancer Research, and roped in her brother Joseph, 23, a Product Design student at Nottingham University to help. They made this decision after their mum, Karen, was diagnosed last August with breast cancer. Karen completed her course of chemotherapy 2 weeks ago and, as far as Jess and Joseph were concerned, jumping out of a plane was the fitting tribute to mark the end of her treatment. Their proud mother was at Nottingham’s Langar Airfield to cheer them on with a group of family and friends. “Joe and I decided together we would love to do something for breast cancer research,” comments Jess “We support charities regularly but we wanted to do more. We are both very determined and motivated, so as soon as we decided last November we immediately started fundraising. We have constantly been advertising it and getting people to donate as much as possible, everyone has been so generous and we are so grateful!” Daring Jess and Joe had their nerves tested by the 10,000ft drop but breath-taking views helped the fearless students on their way. Jess, who is challenging thrill seekers from across the Midlands to emulate her and raise money for Breast Cancer Campaign, says: “I’ve never done anything as exciting (and terrifying!) as a skydive! The view was overwhelming and the jump was an experience I will never forget. We’re so proud of our mum, who is the brave one, and by doing this we’re doing what we can to help everybody who has been touched by breast cancer.” Breast Cancer Campaign currently funds six projects in the Midlands worth a combined £1,047,264. Kelly Walton, Events Executive, says: “A skydive is an exciting way to fundraise for Breast Cancer Campaign, and I would encourage anybody looking for a thrill to sign up and take part. Skydiving is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a great day and take in bird’s eye views of the local area, safe in the knowledge that they’ll also be helping us to fund innovative breast cancer research.” Jess, who set up an online fundraising page with her brother, http://www.justgiving.com/josephandjessica added: “We’re so pleased with our fundraising total, so far, and we’re determined to keep going and raise even more.

Super siblings do a skydive to raise funds for breast cancer research

Intrepid siblings Joseph and Jessica Hearnden, who come from the Northfield area of Birmingham, spent Friday the 9th of March doing something a little bit different.

They took part in a 10,000ft skydive and raised £2,046 for breast cancer research.

20 year old Jess is a fashion student at Coventry University, and she decided to raise some money for Breast Cancer Research, and roped in her brother Joseph, 23, a Product Design student at Nottingham University to help. They made this decision after their mum, Karen, was diagnosed last August with breast cancer.

Karen completed her course of chemotherapy 2 weeks ago and, as far as Jess and Joseph were concerned, jumping out of a plane was the fitting tribute to mark the end of her treatment. Their proud mother was at Nottingham’s Langar Airfield to cheer them on with a group of family and friends.

“Joe and I decided together we would love to do something for breast cancer research,” comments Jess “We support charities regularly but we wanted to do more. We are both very determined and motivated, so as soon as we decided last November we immediately started fundraising. We have constantly been advertising it and getting people to donate as much as possible, everyone has been so generous and we are so grateful!”

Daring Jess and Joe had their nerves tested by the 10,000ft drop but breath-taking views helped the fearless students on their way. Jess, who is challenging thrill seekers from across the Midlands to emulate her and raise money for Breast Cancer Campaign, says: “I’ve never done anything as exciting (and terrifying!) as a skydive!

The view was overwhelming and the jump was an experience I will never forget. We’re so proud of our mum, who is the brave one, and by doing this we’re doing what we can to help everybody who has been touched by breast cancer.”

Breast Cancer Campaign currently funds six projects in the Midlands worth a combined £1,047,264. Kelly Walton, Events Executive, says: “A skydive is an exciting way to fundraise for Breast Cancer Campaign, and I would encourage anybody looking for a thrill to sign up and take part.

Jess, who set up an online fundraising page with her brother, http://www.justgiving.com/josephandjessica added: “We’re so pleased with our fundraising total, so far, and we’re determined to keep going and raise even more.
