DAREDEVIL staff from East Lancashire's Vodafone stores are to take to the skies next month for a parachute jump in aid of charity.

Twenty-four staff, including Abby Storer and Ryan Haworth, from Blackburn, Asif Iqbal, from Accrington, and Paul Box and Stuart Hancock from the Burnley store, will leap out of a plane at a parachute centre at Cockerham in Cumbria for Cancer Research UK.

The intrepid group is trying to raise £10,000 for Cancer Research UK and twelve jumpers go on September 8 with another 12 to follow on September 15.

Anyone who wants to sponsor the jumpers can fill in a sponsorship form at any of the branches or phone the Blackburn branch and organiser Ian Davis on 01254 663966.
