A DAREDEVIL is preparing for a 12,000 foot parachute jump to raise hundreds of pounds for a children’s charity.

Jenna Creelman, 22, of Scarborough, said she “could not wait” to take part in her first jump and wants others to join her on June 19 raising cash for the Children’s Big Jump Charity, which provides respite care for disabled youngsters.

“Falling through the air at 120 mph is definitely not for the faint hearted but if there’s anyone else who has always wanted to get the thrill and could fundraise for us, I’d love to hear from them,” she said.
