High flyer Jean shows age is no obstruction to fundraising success

06 August 2018

YOU’RE never too old for new experiences…as high flying volunteer Jean Cholerton has demonstrated.

Jean has been a volunteer at the St Luke’s  Ecclesall Road shop for the past 17 years.

But when she heard of a new way of raising money for her favourite charity, the 86-year-old daredevil couldn’t wait to reach for the skies.

And her first attempt at a tandem sky dive raised a fantastic £2,263 towards our patient care.

“Extraordinary people like Jean are the thing that make St Luke’s so special,” said our Fundraising Assistant Zoe Manders.

“Jean is already such a loyal supporter of everything we do but taking part in a sky dive really showed how dedicated she is.”
