TWO taxi workers are appealing for backing as they plan to take a flying leap for charity.

Wayne Raby and Rachel Kellett will jump from a plane 10,000-feet above North Lancashire later this month in a tandem parachute jump.

And every penny the pair - who both work for Coastal Taxis - raise will go towards Morecambe RNLI's Home for the Hover' appeal.

Wayne and Rachel are backing the £250,000 appeal for a seafront home for the RNLI hovercraft for colleague Adrian Sweeney, who is a member of the lifeboat crew.

Rachel says: "We are all aware of how many hours Adrian and his fellow crew members give to the lifeboat service and we want to do something to help."
