Leamington woman taking a leap of faith for charity
Samantha met Warwick fundraiser Debbie White (no relation) through work and was touched by her story of living with sight loss - so much so that she decided to join Debbie on her fundraising skydive.
Debbie is a long-time supporter of the charity Fight for Sight as it funds research into a range of sight loss conditions, including retinitis pigmentosa, the condition that Debbie lives with.

Hide AdSamantha said: “The thought of losing my sight fills me with more dread than jumping out of a plane, so I’m going to conquer my fears and help raise much-needed funds for eye research.”
Pippa de Leon, who is Samantha’s business partner at A la Cart in Rigby Close, Leamington, said: “A la Cart is delighted to support Debbie in her fight for sight. We hope to help her reach her target of £10,000 for the Skydive for Sight.”
Debbie, of Hy-kleen of Warwick Ltd, is recruiting volunteers to take to the skydive with her on Saturday May 5 at Hinton Airfield near Brackley, Northants.
