Markham shop workers skydive to raise cash for homeless people

News | | Published: 12:00, Friday July 31st, 2015.

Employees from a Markham convenience store have helped raise around £1,500 to help homeless people.

Claire Williams and Bethan Hornby, from the One Stop Shop, in Abernant Road, jumped 12,000ft out of an aeroplane last month to raise the money for charity Llamau.

The pair have also raised funds by holding a number of events for their community, including a cake sale.

Bethan said: “It was absolutely amazing. I loved every second of the sky dive and it was worth all the mixed emotions I had before going up in the plane.

“It was an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m proud to say I did it for such a good cause.”
