Skydiving Aberdeen sisters raise £2,000 for charity

A pair of skydiving Aberdeen sisters have raised £2,000 in a charity plunge.

Allana and Jasmine Massie jumped at Errol Airfield, Perthshire on Saturday in support of vasculitis charity the Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation.

They were joined by Allana’s partner, Aaron Ross, his mother Yvonne, and Jasmine’s partner, Graeme Anderson.

The sisters decided to take the plunge to raise money for the foundation after their mother, Karen, was diagnosed with the rare blood condition in January this year.

Allana, 22, said, “When my mum was diagnosed with vasculitis, we were especially shocked because we hadn’t ever heard of the condition before – that’s why we’ve decided to raise awareness by jumping out of a plane.

“The doctors advised us to get in contact with the Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation, whose help and support has been invaluable to us.

“The skydive was absolutely terrifying, but it is all for a great cause.”

The Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation was set up by Grant and Adrienne Currie following the tragic death of their 15-year old daughter and only child Lauren in 2010.

Grant Currie said: “We can’t thank Allana, Jasmine and the team enough for undertaking such a feat in support of the Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation.

“Without fund-raisers and the generous people who donate we wouldn’t be able to help nearly as many vasculitis suffers, so this sort of support is really vital to us.”
