FORMER Llandough midwife Tracey Barker safely completed her charity skydive to help fight cancer, but now she wants to do it again!
The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board staff member plummeted to earth at 130mph recently to raise funds to help other fight cancer after being diagnosed herself.
She was joined by colleague and friend Vonda Price, who was also fundraising for Cancer Research Wales.
But the pair said the amazing experience was over in the blink of an eye, and only a second attempt would help them appreciate the spectacular views.
Tracey said: "The freefall was terrifying because I didn't know what to expect, but the parachute decent was simply amazing.
"I definately need to do it again so I can appreciate the first jump as it was all over far too quickly."
