Skydiver Hayley raises £1,000 in memory of Len

A daredevil Moulton woman has said thank you to hospital staff who cared for her friend.
Hayley Matson raised £1,000 for Spalding’s Johnson Community Hospital Welland Ward by doing a 12,500ft tandem skydive.
Hayley made the donation in memory of her late friend Len Dawson.
The occasion was something she says plane enthusiast Len, who was cared for at the hospital, would have been proud of.
Hayley said: “Len was cared for impeccably.
“When he died the hospital was so good and I just wanted to give something back.”
Hairdresser Hayley collected £1,000 with the help of her daughter Sian, who made and sold cakes.
The money will be presented to the Welland Ward for Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust’s Charitable Funds.
Hayley added: “The day I did the skydive was a lovely day but it was the fact I was doing it in Len’s memory that made it so special.
“I’m just pleased to have been able to raise that amount of money for such a worthwhile cause and hope it makes a difference to the ward and their patients.”
Jennie Gittins, Welland Ward manager, said: “On behalf of everyone on the ward and at Lincolnshire Community Health Services, I would like to thank Hayley for her very kind donation.
“The quality of care the experiences of our patients, their family and friends is very important to us and we were delighted to hear what a difference our team was able to make to Mr Dawson.
