Burnham-On-Sea father and son set to do 13,000ft sky dive for charity

-

A Burnham-On-Sea estate agent and his son are preparing to do a daring 13,000ft sky dive to raise cash for a good cause.

Edward Creswick, CJ Hole Burnham managing director, has set a date for his next sky dive on August 6th. His is pictured above on his previous sky dive last year.

This time he has persuaded his son Thomas, who also works at the firm, to jump out of the plane too!

The Burnham firm’s chosen charity this year is Breast Cancer Now, the Somerset branch being headed up by Holly Macbeth who lives in Burnham-On-Sea.

Two of Holly’s colleagues will also be taking part in the jump to raise much-needed funds for the charity to continue their vital work.

Edward is not a stranger to sky dives, but it will be the first time that son Tom has jumped out of a plane.

Edward told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “Individually and as a team within the office, we are all committed to raising as much money as possible for this amazing charity and the work that they do.”

“We all know someone that has been effected by this awful disease, and a sky dive seems like a small thing to do in comparison to the enormity that others face when cancer effect their lives.”

“Tom and I will be jumping out of a plane at about 13,000 feet – so please do sponsor us and help us reach our target!”

The event is part of a year-long commitment to the charity by CJ Hole which started earlier in the year with a cake sale and a Facebook event throughout March.

The office plans to offer cream teas as part of Burnham-On-Sea Food Festival on May 28th, as well as various other fundraising activities throughout the year.

You can help them reach their £3,500 target by sponsoring them at www.justgiving.com/CJHole-Burnham25, or pop in to see them at 64 High Street, Burnham.
