FIVE local people, four of whom have Multiple Sclerosis, have completed a tandem skydive from 15,000 feet to raise money for charity. 

Anna Brockington, Carol Searle, Lindsey Hedges, Andrew Hopper and Tazmin White have so far raised £6,000 which will go directly to the Taunton and District Branch of the MS Society. 

The team experienced around a minute of freefall travelling at over 120 miles per hour before pulling the parachute to sow them down.

The MS Taunton and District Branch are very grateful for the donations and would like to thank the skydiving team and their sponsors.
