TWO colleagues from a Winchester IT company have raised nearly £1,000 for charity after jumping a combined 20,000 feet.
Emma Rae and Paul Young completed individual tandem skydives at the Army Parachute Association near Salisbury and collected a total of £950 for the RSPCA and Oxfam.
They work for Avanquest Solutions, a corporate IT solutions company based in Jewry Street.
Emma said: "The idea came from one of our colleagues. This is something I have always wanted to do.
Other Avanquest workers have been busy raising charitable funds. Dawn Meyer and Ann Gillott raised £600 when they took part in the Moonwalk for Breast Cancer.
Carrie Travis joined the Isle of Wight Walk and raised £130 for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice on the Island.
