A SHOP worker raised more than £1,000 for charity with a sponsored sky-dive.

Bridport Morrisons' community champion Keira Tait took on the challenge to raise funds for Young Lives vs Cancer.

Ms Tait jumped from 15,000 feet with a 60 second freefall at Dunkerswell Airfield, east Devon.

She said: "Reaching the grand old age of 40 I felt I needed a new, exciting challenge. So jumping out of a plane was the obvious choice. Raising money for such a worthy charity is a great opportunity.

"What an amazing experience it was. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to do something like this and raise an amazing amount of money. A massive thank you to everyone who has donated."

Young Lives vs Cancer is Morrisons' charity partner and as a Morrisons worker, Ms Tait will have her total amount raised match funded by the supermarket chain. She has currently raised £1,105.
