AN aspiring teacher and her cousin are taking on a skydive for a children’s charity.

Natasha Cook and Alicia Gibson, both 18, will throw themselves out of a plane for the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity in June.

The duo are also hosting a music evening tomorrow to raise money for the charity.

Natasha, of Harbour Crescent, Harwich, said: “A skydive is just something we both really wanted to do. We both looked into it and decided to do it for charity."

A music event featuring band Fox and the Trots and a DJ takes place at The Waterfront, in Lower Marine Parade, Dovercourt, tomorrow from 7.30pm, to raise money for the charity.

Tickets cost £5 from the Waterfront or can be bought on the door.

The skydive takes place in Norwich on June 30.
