Local Business Marks its 10th Anniversary with a £1000 Skydive for The Hospice of St FrancisMarking the 40th anniversary of The Hospice of St Francis with a skydive was local business woman Alison Page's way of achieving a lifetime's ambition as well as celebrating the 10th anniversary of her business.

Raising £18,490.21 in total, with Alison contributing an impressive over £1,000 to the fundraising effort, the skydive was a fantastic fundraiser for us and all participants enjoyed the adrenaline rush as they descended 12,000 feet before floating serenely to the ground! "As a member of our Corporate Partner Network, Alison's been great at helping us spread the word about this popular event and we've already got four skydivers signed up to leap for us in March 2020! Many congratulations to all who participated and particularly to Alison who's celebrating a joint milestone of a big birthday this year and running her marketing business for 10 years." Alison concludes: "I achieved a lifetime's ambition by doing a skydive to support the Hospice and to mark my marketing consultancy's 10th birthday. I'd always wanted to do a skydive but never got around to it and the Hospice gave me the perfect reason to make my dream come true as it was an awesome experience to see our beautiful countryside from a different angle. I'm delighted that my marketing consultancy clients, such as local companies Stringer Mann Financial Planners, Indigo Tree Digital and Greenfleets Vehicle Leasing, plus my friends and family helped me raise £1,000. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would like to thank all the Hospice staff who have worked so hard to mark the 40th anniversary in such style."
