Self-proclaimed "nervous flyer" planning to jump out plane

Thursday 13 May 2021


A woman who describes herself as a "bit of a scaredy cat" will be putting her fears to one side for a charity skydive, raising money for Cancer Research.

Penny Muirfield will take to the skies for a tandem skydive on 1 August, with all proceeds going to good causes.

It comes two years after her daughter Holly raised £4,150.00 for the same charity by having her head shaved and donating her hair to the Princess Trust.

"It is something I have always wanted to do but I have always put it off," Penny said of her challenge, which is being coordinated by Skydive Jersey.

"I am a nervous flyer and a bit of a scaredy cat. I wanted to take myself totally out of my comfort zone to raise money."

People can find out more about the challenge and how to donate HERE.
