THE SKY’S the limit for one Bridport woman who is taking part in a Guinness World Record attempt to raise money for Help for Heroes on Saturday (June 20).

Louise Goligher, 37, who works at the Bridport Glass and Tile Centre, is taking part in the official Guinness World Record attempt for the largest tandem skydiving event, while also raising money for Help for Heroes.

She will be participating in the world’s largest tandem jump with 333 people skydiving in 24 hours from various locations across the country.

For her skydive, Mrs Goligher will be descending from a plane that will be flying over Honiton at 15,000ft, which organisers say is the highest jump possible before oxygen is needed.

Mrs Goligher said: “My husband Andrew is actually from Northern Ireland and is an army veteran, so the cause is close to our hearts.

“Skydiving was on my bucket list and it’s something I have always wanted to do, so it’s great that it’s also raising funds for a worthy charity.”

Apparently nerves are not in her vocabulary.

Asked if she was nervous, Mrs Goligher said: “I can’t wait, I don’t really feel fear.

"I could do it today and every day after.

“My friends were worried but I said it can’t be that bad because otherwise people wouldn’t be allowed to do it.

“It’s at 15,000ft which is the highest you can before you need oxygen.”

She’s half way to her £1000 target and is obviously hoping for more to make her leap worthwhile.

“We’d like to give as much money to them as we can so they can continue helping wounded soldiers back into a normal life.

“The charity does so much for our heroes. I was lucky that I got my husband back in one piece.”
