Name: Katie Barlow

Position: Nursery nurse at the Old Vicarage Day Nursery in AppletonThorn, Warrington

- Why did you do a tandem skydive?

We were holding a funday at the nursery to raise money for Hemihelp, acharity for children with hemiplegia, a form of cerebral palsy, as oneof the children who attends the nursery suffers from the condition. Idecided I wanted to do something crazy, so suggested doing askydive.

- How did it go?

I would say it's the best experience of my life. I've never doneanything like it before but would do it again. I raised 436 fromthe skydive, and the nursery as a whole raised 2,000 for thecharity.

- What are your future plans?

I've been at the nursery for three years now but am hoping to be able towork with children with special educational needs. I did some voluntarywork with SEN children while at college and found it reallyrewarding.
