Debra Dallimore conquered her fear of heights to jump from 12,000 feet and raise £2,000 to support the Acorns Children's Hospice.
Debra's daughter Eden, aged 10, had respite care at Acorns in Worcester in August, while her family went for their first sun holiday together.
Debra was so grateful that she wanted to give something back - so she decided to tandem skydive for the first time in her life, and local companies and supporters have backed her.
Her husband Paul's employer, Sanctuary Housing Association, in Castle Street, pledged £500 toward her tandem skydive.
Four out of 10 Acorns hospice beds had to be closed earlier this year due to cash problems, and supporters have been working toward re-opening them.
Fran Winterbourn, Acorns' community fund-raiser, said: "We rely on the public for 90 per cent of funding, so we are deeply grateful to Debra for helping us support life-limited children." People who would like to support families can call Acorns Children's Hospice on 0800 073 0001, or make a cheque payable to Acorns Children's Hospice, and send it to us at Acorns Children's Hospice, Drakes Court, Alcester Road, Wythall, B47 6JR
