A DOCTOR, a headteacher and a dentist are among those who have signed up to jumping out of a plane for charity.

A skydive at Dunkerswell Airfield on Saturday, May 14 is the main fundraising event this year for Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support (ALCS).

Nine people will be doing the jump in an event supported by Skydive Buzz.

Each have pledged to complete a tandem jump from 15,000ft to raise money for ALCS, an independent charity which aims to provide support for anyone living with and beyond cancer in the local community. Find out more on the ALCS website – axminsterandlymecancersupport.co.uk
