AN OKEHAMPTON police officer who is scared of heights is jumping out of a plane for charity on August 3.

Sgt Corinne Price will be jumping from 15,000ft above sea level in aid of the Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity, a newly formed charity helping to raise money and awareness for children with brain tumours and post surgery disabilities.

Joshua Wilson communicates with his thumb and his cause was taken up by Falmouth Police who made the charity famous with their 'Gangnam'-style YouTube hit.

Sgt Price is jumping with Sky Dive UK at Dunkeswell and hopes to raise £1,000. There are sponsor forms at Okehampton Police Station or go to the link http://skydiveukltd.com/345-Corrine-Price-Skydive.asp">http://skydiveukltd.com/345-Corrine-Price-Skydive.asp
