Leicestershire scaling new heights

Leicestershire CCC

Leicestershire are hitting new heights as they take part in a sponsored skydive to raise money for both the club’s benefit year and Rainbows Children’s Hospice.

Chairman Paul Haywood, club captain Matthew Hoggard and one-day skipper Josh Cobb are leading a Foxes team that will attempt the skydive at Langar Airfield on September 17.

“We have been planning this event for a while and are very much looking forward to it,” said Haywood. “I have done a skydive in the past and it is a fantastic experience.

“Leicestershire and Rainbows Hospice would really appreciate any donations and we hope to see you there on the day.”

To sponsor the team, visit Leicestershire's website where a link to the club's PayPal account is available.
