Three lifelong friends from Moray will take to the skies this summer to raise funds to help fight cancer.
Linda Robertson, Wendy Jones and Shuna Dicks have known each another since attending Botriphnie Primary School together, and are all players in the Keith and District Silver Band.
When Ms Robertson, from Spey Bay, was diagnosed with breast cancer last year she decided to help collect donations to help battle the disease by undertaking a daring skydive challenge.
The Rev Shuna Dicks, who is minister at the Aberlour Parish Church of Scotland, said she and Ms Jones, from Keith, readily agreed to assist Mrs Robertson in her quest.
She added: “Towards the end of last year Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer, and soon after that she sent out a plea for volunteers to help her with some fundraising.
“She mentioned perhaps doing a skydive, which had always been on my bucket list.
“Linda has been very positive throughout the whole thing, her prognosis is good, and I saw this as an ideal chance to support her.
“We’ve known each other since our primary school days and are still very close.”
To help raise further funds for the Breast Cancer Now charity, the Keith and District Silver Band is staging a concert in the town’s Longmore Hall on Sunday.
It will start at 2.30pm and all proceeds will go to the charity.
The group now hope to stage their skydive on Saturday, August 8, at the St Andrews Airfield in Fife.
