Last month (Saturday 20th October 2007), two members of the Pagan Osborne Estate Agency Team stepped out of their comfort zone and took part in tandem skydives from 10,000ft above the skies of St Andrews.

Carol Black and Fiona Donaldson from the firm’s Anstruther branch took part in the challenge of a lifetime.

Speaking after her parachute jump, Fiona Donaldson said:

“I was so nervous and was really dreading the jump but once I was over the edge of the plane and was freefalling, I soon overcame my nerves. Then, when the parachute opened, I could enjoy the amazing Fife views. It was a fantastic and exhilarating experience and one I would love to repeat.

“We set ourselves this challenge as we really wanted to test ourselves and prove we could meet our fears.”

Due to a sudden change in weather, on the big day, the other team members, Linda Black, Zoe Hughes and Gina Blacklock were unable to take part in the challenge. However, they are now scheduled to complete their tandem jumps in the New Year and are on target to raise £3,000 between them for a number of selected charities including MS Society and Cancer Research.
