Edward and Keith Reach for the Skies To Help Fund Motor Neurone Research...and Boost the Henry Scot |

| Two young men are to make a skydive over Gloucestershire on 18 October - one to raise money principally for Motor Neurone Disease which has affected two members of his family, the other to raise money for their friend Henry Scot-Simmonds, who desperately needs a bone marrow transplant. Edward Aldridge, aged 25, web manager with the Richard Denny Group at Moreton in Marsh, decided to attempt to raise £800 by a skydive from South Cerney, Cirencester, home of the Royal Logistics Corps Parachute Display Team. And, he set a target of £800...and in two days raised it from friends and family. So Edward then also decided to help boost the money raising efforts of his friend, Keith Baker, for the Anthony Nolan Trust, which is seeking matching bone marrow for Henry Scot-Simmonds. All three are close friends. Edward, who lives at New House Farm, Stanton,near Broadway initially worked for solicitors and the NHS in Cheltenham, before securing his web manager post with The Richard Denny Group. He said:" One member of my family has died from Motor Neurone Disease and now my grandmother also has it. It is a terrible illness and there is always a huge need for money to fund research into finding a cure. "I was thrilled to raise my target in just two days, and so it seemed obvious to also help my co-skydiver Mark, who plans to video the whole thing. We hope it will inspire others in the future.I am of course continuing with fund raising for MND". Judith Harker, CEO of the Richard Denny Group said:" We are all very proud of Edward and Keith. Edward is a dedicated member of our team; an extremely nice person who always tries to help others".
