Three fearless estate agents are preparing to throw themselves out of a plane in the name of charity.
Adrian Parker, David Gees and Kim Whitlock from Parker Gees in Clacton hope to raise £1,500 through their sponsored skydive on May 26.
It is part of a much bigger charity endeavour for the agents, who started fundraising for Colchester General Hospital when Adrian was diagnosed with myeloma, or bone marrow cancer, last February.
Luckily, the father-of-two from Thorpe Road has responded well to treatment and is now in remission - while over £12,000 has been sent to the haematology ward since his diagnosis.
Business partner David said: "They have now named an account for us, the Parker Gees Haematology Day Ward Fund.
"The most recent purchases that they have made are a new chemotherapy fridge and some new comfortable armchairs for the patients to make their way of life easier."

The team hope to compete in the London Marathon next year to continue their fundraising efforts, while Adrian is also due to become a committee member of the hospital's Myeloma Support Group.
If you would like to sponsor the trio for their skydive, which takes place at Old Buckenham Airfield in Norfolk, call the agency on 01255 422240 or pop into the office at 52 Station Road.
