High flying legal eagles jump for charity

Brave Volunteers from law firm Pardoes Solicitors and Pardoes Bevins Human Resources took to the sky for a daring 15,000ft charity skydive in aid of BIBIC, a national children's charity based in Somerset which provides support for the families of children with conditions like autism, dyslexia, cerebral palsy and Down's syndrome.

The daring four-strong team: Janet Keirle, Rebecca Bevins, Sarah Sherratt and Oliver Young all braved the 15,000 ft jump which took place at Dunkeswell Airfield, Nr Honiton and have so far raised in excess of £1,700 for the charity.

All volunteers had initially prepared to jump at 10,000 ft however on the day were given the option to jump a further 5,000 ft, the highest possible free-fall height.

Rebecca Bevins, Director of Pardoes Bevins Human Resources who took part in the parachute jump said:

"I wasn't sure if I would be able to take the plunge when it came to the parachute jump, but I did it! And I feel fantastic, I found the experience exhilarating and was amazed at the lack of fear that is felt when you actually jump. I would recommend it to anyone! "
