A CROSS stitching fan and an office director are set to hit terminal velocity in their quest to boost a charity.

Two workers from Grange Moor firm Sanderson Associates are set to plunge 15,000ft on a charity sky dive.

Associate director, Peter, and Nicola, an accounts assistant, will leap out of a plane to boost the Holly Bank Trust, a Mirfield home and special school for severely disabled children and adults.

The duo are raising the cash as part of the transportation engineering company’s 25th anniversary celebrations.

Nicola and Peter will jump harnessed to the front of a fully qualified parachuting instructor and will enjoy one whole adrenaline-fuelled minute of free fall, reaching terminal velocity at 120mph.

For Peter, the leap of faith, is the latest in his list of adrenaline fuelled activities.

He has been abseiling, gliding and paragliding and his current hobby is power kiting, both on land (in a buggy) and on water (kite surfing).

But mum-of-one, Nicola’s, pastimes are not quite as thrill seeking.

She said: “In my spare time I enjoy reading, cross-stitching and going out for meals.

“In particular, I enjoy spending time with my family and seeing all the firsts our baby boy does.

“But a tandem sky dive is something I’ve always wished to do – along with a bungee jump.

“Now I have been given this amazing opportunity to do a tandem sky dive for charity for our 25th anniversary.”

The jump, the UK’s highest, will take place on September 8.
