A grateful woman has raised over £1,000 for the unit at Royal Stoke University Hospital which saved her live.

June Jackson, from Macclesfield, completed a skydive to raise money for University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity.

She plunged through the skies at the weekend, almost three-and-a-half years after she had live-saving heart surgery at Royal Stoke University Hospital.

The money raised will be donated to University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity (https://skydivetilstock.co.uk).

She told Macclesfield Nub News: "It was a truly brilliant experience. The best bit was after the parachute came up and you were able to see everything."

June has raised an incredible £1,120 for the charity which helps to raise funds for the department (and doctors) which treated her in April 2020.
