Once again Family Funeral Director Claire Austin is doing something for charity. This time she and local business woman Louise Yexley are jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet to raise money for Keech Hospice Care on Saturday April 6. Clare is no newbie to doing something a bit daring for charity. In 2014 she ran the London Marathon for Isabelle Hospice. 2015 she took part in a community project, building a dam in Vietnam and last year was the ?big shave?for Stevenage Community Trust. (Her hair has now grown back and looks fabulous). So when on holiday considering what her challenges for 2019 would be, Clare decided
that she would love to do a tandem skydive. Colleague and friend Louise Yexley, dropped in for a catch up a few months ago and Claire mentioned that she was doing the jump and it was something that had been on Louise?s bucket list for a while after having done the indoor body flying a few years back. So together they are booked in on 6th April and are fundraising for Keech Hospice Care who are based in Luton. The dive is 10,000 feet and Louise has said she needs to go first! Keech Hospice are one of only a few hospices in the country caring
for both adults and children, and our vital support extends to our patients?family and friends, too. As a charity, they provide free, specialist care for adults in Luton and south Bedfordshire, and children from Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes, who have life-limiting and terminal illnesses. Evene post event you can still sponsor on http://www.love2donate.co.uk/ ClaireAustin or Louise https://www.justgiving.com/ fundraising/louiseyexleyskydive at any time. Facebook videos will be available on the day!!!
