UK: Three solicitors from Preston-based north west law firm Napthens take on ultimate charity jump

Three Lancashire women took to the skies before diving back to earth, all in the name of a charity close to their hearts.

Helen Gaskell, Vicky Cross and Francesca Kinsella-Calverley flew to 14,000 feet, before leaping from the plane and reaching speeds of 120mph until their parachutes opened.

The trio, who all work at Preston-based north west law firm Napthens, had never skydived before but landed safely, having raised almost £2,000 for Alzheimer’s Society.

They admit it was only by encouraging and supporting each other that they all managed to get on the plane and jump from the plane.
