A TAVISTOCK woman will be taking to the air in a tandem sky dive for Help for Heroes.

Yasmine Rich, 19, will be completing her first tandem sky dive on August 16 to raise money for the military charity.

I Love Candy in Tavistock has a collection tin in the shop to help with Yasmine's fundraising, as well as selling the Help for Heroes wristbands and lapel pins. Yasmine will also be doing some public fundraising in and around Tavistock during the summer.

She said: 'Help for Heroes is a charity which is close to many people's hearts and I'm so excited to be skydiving in aid of them! I an very grateful to everyone who donates money.'
