Nicola Howlett, project manager at Top Technician, plans to freefall 10,000ft on April 8 to raise money for motor industry charity BEN.

Nicola will take part in the tandem skydive at Headcorn, near Maidstone.

Nicola is asking for other people in the motor trade to make the jump with her or at an alternative airfield within the UK for the BEN charity.

Alternatively, you can sponsor her jump.

Nicola said: 'I have always wanted to do something like this and when I heard about this charity through my job, I jumped at the chance to get involved. I have seen first-hand the amazing work undertaken by the BEN team and I would like to do my bit to help.'

She now has to raise a minimum of £375 to do the jump and is appealing to anyone who would like to sponsor her or join in with the jump to get in touch.

If you would like to help Nicola, or find out more about the jump, call her on 01634 261262 or email nicola@toptechnician.co.uk
