A York football coach has raised over £1,000 for a good cause by skydiving out of a plane

Emma Darker, from Strensall Tigers Junior Football Club, raised £1,014 through the parachute jump for St Leonard’s Hospice.

Alongside her jump, the club held a raffle with the proceeds contributing towards the amount raised. 

Emma has said that the fundraising initiative was inspired by Emma receiving the parachute jump as a birthday present.
