COLLEAGUES Emmeline Hawkins and Jared Bell took the plunge for charity when they staged a 12,000ft sky dive to raise over £200 for the Children's Liver Disease Foundation.
The pair, who work at the Marks and Spencer store, Harlow, were inspired to do the parachute jump after co-worker Linda Rodriguez told them about losing her young daughter Natalie to liver disease in 1974.
Emmeline, 32, of Great Brays, said: "The jump was absolutely incredible. When you first go over the edge you feel nothing but sheer panic because you're travelling at about 120mph, but once your parachute opens and you start shooting upwards again it is amazing.
"I can't wait to do it again because it was such a buzz."
