Ashtons Legal Partner completes charity sky dive

Posted 21/08/2012

Toby Kramers, Partner at Ashtons Legal Solicitors in Ipswich, has taken part in a charity sky dive to raise funds for the East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH).

Toby, who is a partner in the firm’s Commercial Property department, carried out a tandem sky dive on Saturday 18 August at the Ellough Airfield in Beccles. He was one of over 30 people taking part in the event to raise vital funds for the charity.

Staff at the firm initially raised funds by sponsoring the person they wanted to take part in the sky dive out of four names put forward, and Toby came out as the favourite. Well over £1,000 has been raised and the total is still growing.Nikki Brown, Fundraiser for EACH commented: “We’re delighted that over £1,000 has been raised – absolutely fantastic fundraising! Well done to Toby and to everyone at Ashtons Legal”.

Toby said: “I was nervous at the thought of jumping out of a plane at 12,000 feet, but it was all for a worthwhile cause and I’m so glad to have raised so much for EACH. It was a fantastic experience and I would do it all again!”

Ashtons Legal is supporting EACH through a Charity of the Year partnership and this is just one of many fundraising initiatives taking place throughout the year.
