A woman is planning a tandem skydive for charity to mark her 21st birthday.
Emily Burrows will be doing the skydive on April 10 and aims to raise at least £500 for the LOROS hospice.
Two years a go she did the Leicester half-marathon to raise cash for the hospice. She said, "This time I decided to raise the stakes. I'm petrified of heights and I've never been on a plane before in my life, so it really will be a major challenge.

The National Audit Office today released a report into the financial sustainability of hospices. LOROS Hospice is calling for this report to mark a turning point in the debate over hospice funding, and urges government to step in to create a more sustainable funding model.
Staff at LOROS Hospice – including nurses on the inpatient ward – swapped their uniforms for pyjamas yesterday, as part of a fundraiser celebrating the launch of a new charity sleepwear range.
40 giant elephants from LOROS Hospice’s Stomp Round Leicester art trail were auctioned off last night, raising a mammoth £286,800 for the charity.
