A TRAVEL agent in Okehampton is preparing to jump out of a plane for charity.

Claire Stone, who works at Thomas Cook, is aiming to raise £500 for the company's children's charity for sick and disadvantaged children in the UK and worldwide. Claire has worked for Thomas Cook for 18 years, nine of those years in the Okehampton office and is hoping customers will help her raise as much as possible.

The skydive is on September 29 at Dunkerswell and people can donate by popping into the shop or going to the webpage: justgiving.com/westcountry-claire
