Samantha Gurney 11R

Samantha Gurney, a Year 11 student, in Rochester decided several months ago to undertake a “sponsored Tandem Parachute Jump” for charity.

Although not attempting the jump individually it was still an incredibly brave undertaking.  Before taking part in the event Samantha had to secure a minimum amount of sponsorship.  The final total was a very impressive £919.00.  This money went to the Institute of Cancer Research: a most worthwhile cause.

After many hours of practice Samantha’s jump took place on Sunday, March 11th 2007 at 11.30 am.  Please enjoy the pictures of her successful tandem jump.  Sadly, later on in the day at Headcorn Airfield there was an accident causing one fatality.  Our thoughts are with those involved.

Congratulations to Sam from all in Rochester House and St George’s.
