Some £3,500 has been raised for Help for Heroes thanks to a charity skydive.<\/p>\n
Six women from Bury took on the challenge in an effort to collect money for the armed forces charity, the Bury Free Press reports.<\/p>\n
Bron Madson was one the ladies who took part in the feat and she admitted it was pretty scary.<\/p>\n
"[It was] an amazing experience to jump out of a plane at 12,000ft and go from zero to 120 miles per hour. A big thank you to everyone who supported us," she added.<\/p>\n
Ms Madson is also going to be part of the support team for another fundraising initiative.<\/p>\n
Geoff Warren, Chris Brice and Colin Harker are going to travel 6,000 miles from the UK to Dubai on motorbikes loaned to them by Triumph.<\/p>\n
So far, over £11,000 has been collected for the bike ride, which means the three are well on their way to reaching their £12,000 target.<\/p>\n
