A WOMAN has taken the plunge from 14,500ft to raise money for the debt counselling service where she works.
Janet Adams, manager of the Christians Against Poverty centre in Framwellgate Moor, Durham, completed the tandem skydive at Hibaldstow Airfield, Lincolnshire.
"I've never done anything like this before and I wouldn't do anything like it again,'' she said. "If it hadn't been a tandem jump, I don't think I could have done it."
Christians Against Poverty has 35 centres across the country which provide free help to get people out of debt.
Since it opened in Durham in May, the charity has assisted about 12 families by negotiating with companies who are owed money and arranging repayments.
The charity gets no Government funding and relies on donations to carry out its work.
Janet raised £900 after showing a video of her jump to Durham's Emmanuel Church.
