PHARMACY technician Sharon Davies splashed out by buying her brother Ian a parachute jump for his 30th birthday.

But he was unable to make it and rather than waste the present she decided to make the jump herself.

Sharon, from Hereford, bailed out at Netheravon in Wiltshire and described it as a fantastic appearance.

She decided to use the event to help the Macmillan Renton Appeal and raised £300. She has thanked her family, friends, hospital colleagues and workers at Jewsons and Denco for their support.
