A dauntless daughter jumped out of a plane to raise charity cash in memory of her mum.

Jodie Ferry, 22, of New Addington, leapt from 10,000ft in a fundraising skydive in Maidstone, raising nearly £1,300 for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Her mum, Debra Young, 43, died in September 2007 just eight weeks after being diagnosed with the disease.

Miss Ferry, of Uvedale Crescent, said: "The skydive was mesmerising. Seems strange but it felt as if I was a little bit more closer to Mum when I got up there.

"It was the most amazing experience and all for a great cause.

"I have met a few people that have been affected by the disease some way or another and it was nice to be able to relate to them.

"Doing the skydive has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done.

"I have done myself proud, my family and friends proud, and I hope I have made my Mum proud."
