Story

 Lena Etherington, who is 75 years old, is preparing to skydive for Christian Aid on the 16th of May at Black Knights Parachute Centre in Lancaster. Lena will take part in this sponsored jump, weather permitting and ‘hopes to raise a lot of money for Christian Aid.’

Lena, who is ‘not nervous at all’, has been planning this jump for quite a while now but when everyone at church encouraged her to jump for Christian Aid, this really gave her the incentive to do it!

This bold act comes from a fearless lady and it’s all in support of this year’s Christian Aid Week (10-16 May 2015 www.caweek.org), Britain’s longest running door-to-door fundraising week. This year, Christian Aid are asking the British public to support women living in poverty around the world who are discriminated against from birth. Please give generously!
