A Cambridge Weight Plan consultant from Whitchurch took part in a charity skydive and helped raise more than £27,000.

Emma Griffiths, along with 49 other consultants, completed the sponsored skydive for Cancer Research UK.

The consultant said: "We are helping to build an awareness of how obesity is a cause to cancer and to support the work of cancer research UK are doing.

"As Cambridge consultants we are flying the flag for a healthier lifestyle helping people to tackle weight their weight issues with a vast range of products and one to one support from their consultant."

The consultants parachuted from 13,000 feet and have so far raised £27,678.

"The jump was one of my most exciting times of my life," continued Emma.

"I have lost my goddaughter at the age of four to Neuroblastoma and my granddad to cancer, so this means a lot to me."
