Trio take to the skies for charity
12th August 2010
Members of Grayling are to take part in a skydive
THREE members of PR consultancy Grayling's team are preparing to fall from a great height to raise money for children's charity Barnardo's.
The trio will skydive from an aeroplane at 10,000 ft on September 4.
Vicki Murphy, Paul Barnard and Justin McKeown will take part in the tandem skydive and are aiming to raise more than £1,200 which will go towards supporting the work Barnardo’s does across the region.
Mr McKeown, divisional director at Grayling, said: “Though people are questioning our sanity, we really do appreciate the messages of support we’ve received. We’re excited to raise a significant amount of money for Barnardo’s by freefalling at 120mph!
"We recognise the importance of the support that Barnardo’s provides to children across our region. Any donations will just be so welcome.”

Vicki Murphy, Paul Barnard and Justin McKeown went flying without wings… jumping out of a plane from 10,000ft and freefalling at 120mph. And it was awesome! With your help, we've raised at least £1,500 to support Grayling North’s charity of the year – Barnardo's. (Specifically, in our office we've been working closely with Leeds-based Willows Young Carers, which supports 5-16 year olds who live with parents suffering from mental/physical health issues, alcohol and substance abuse etc. or with siblings who suffer from disabilities.) Thanks again for all the support from everyone. You all rock! : )
