Vet nurse students’ charity skydive

10:06 am in News by Jonathan (Vetstart Editor)

Three VN students prepare to skydive to raise funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer

Leah Harrop, Emma Page and Caroline Bromley hope to raise £1500 for cancer charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer with a skydive at Whitchurch Airfield.

Emma, 20, commented:
“We feel that it will be an amazing experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives, and doing it for such a good cause makes it even more worthwhile.”

The students took part in a sponsored walk for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People but this is their first major fundraiser – and what a fundraiser to start off with. This is an amazing idea and we at Vetsforum wish them the best.

Donate to the skydive at JustGiving.
