A group of daredevil work colleagues are skydiving to raise money for a local hospice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ITS Technology Group co-workers Alison Perry, Sam Ruocco, Autumn Johnstone and Claire Davies will take to the skies and complete the tandem 10,000ft charity jump on Saturday 24th<\/sup>April, raising vital funds for the Woodlands Hospice, Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alison, part of the ITS finance team, is a patron and long-time supporter of the hospice, having raised awareness and funds for the hospice for over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With fundraising opportunities few and far between over the last 12 months owing to lockdown restrictions, she will lead her colleagues in the white-knuckle skydive as they aim to raise \u00a32,000 for the good cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A registered charity, Woodlands Hospice is dedicated to providing hospice care for the people of North Liverpool, South Sefton and Kirkby in Knowsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through its specialist care, Woodlands aims to improve the lives of people who have life-limiting illnesses. It helps them to live actively and be as independent as possible. This support often extends to patients\u2019 carers, family and close friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the year ITS\u2019 charity committee encourages staff to raise funds in the community. And the intrepid team of Alison, Sam, Autumn and Claire are now encouraging friends, family, co-workers and associates to back them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe skydive gives us an opportunity to give back to a great charity which has already helped so many people over the years, and I know will continue to help many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA 10,000ft jump from a plane is no mean feat, so we\u2019re keen to spread the word far and wide to help ramp up support ahead of the day!\u201d<\/p>\nAlison Perry OBE<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
