Doctor, dentists, headmaster and more to skydive for Axminster charity

Nine people, including a local doctor, dentists and a headteacher, are preparing for a skydive in aid of Axminster and Lyme Regis Cancer Support on Saturday, May 14.

Among those taking part are headteacher of The Woodroffe School, Dan Watts, alongside Axminster Medical Practice GP Dr Nick Hodges, his wife and anaesthetist Alice Hodges, and brother Sandy Hodges and his parter Jess Waite, who are both local dentists.

They will be undertaking the 15,000ft skydive at Dunkeswell Airfield, near Honiton, to raise funds for Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support, an independent charity who aim to provide support for anyone living with and beyond cancer in the local community.
