Brave Roxann completes 15,000ft charity skydive

Congratulations to colleague Roxann Davies who completed a 15,000ft skydive to raise money for the Heart Heroes charity.

Not only did Roxann complete her skydive she exceeded her fundraising goal of £400, raising over £1100 for Heart Heroes.

Heart Heroes is a charity that works with children and their families living with heart conditions. They aim to provide services for these children, to help them meet others who are in similar situations and allow their family to talk to other families going through related experiences.

Roxann accomplished this incredible achievement after her daughter was born with a heart defect and had to undergo open heart surgery, from which she has made a full recovery.

Roxann said: “Being terribly afraid of heights to the point I can't walk over a bridge on my own, this was a huge challenge for me. I thought that if our little Heart Warriors can be so brave and undergo open heart surgery while their hearts are the size of strawberries and attend regular cardiology appointments, have procedures such as ECGs and Echocardiograms and more, then I can be brave too and do this for them!

“Thank you to everyone that supported me in my fundraising efforts for this amazing charity.”
