Former Miss UK to skydive for Parkinson's
5 February 2010
Former Miss UK, Miss Wales and ex-Gladiators star Amy Guy will
jump out of a plane for the first time in April to help launch
Parkinson's Awareness Week 2010 (19-25
April).
Amy will join our Parachute for
Parkinson's skydive team on 17 April in Wiltshire. The team
hopes to raise over £15,000 and also includes our Chief Executive,
Steve Ford and our Fundraising Director, Paul Jackson-Clark.
Perfect challenge
Amy, who was most famous as Siren from the TV series Gladiators,
said:
"This is the perfect challenge for me. I love extreme sports and
the charity means a lot to me because my mum has Parkinson's."
I've already started fundraising and can't wait to get up in the air to help launch Parkinson's Awareness Week.
Paul Jackson-Clark, our Fundraising Director, adds:
"Our work is totally dependent on donations. All of the
skydivers will be helping our work to find a cure and improve life
for everyone affected by Parkinson's.
Places left
There are still a few places left on the challenge. No previous
experience is required. To find out more and take the challenge

This is a truly exhilarating, once in a lifetime challenge. The
team of divers will enjoy at least 45 seconds freefall followed by
a peaceful 5 minute parachute ride to the landing point, in front
of their friends and family.
