The Rector from St Nicholas Church in Godstone, is going to Skydive for charity. 

Reverend Peter O’Connell would like to raise £500 in support of the Group B Strep Support charity.  Group B Streptococcus is the leading cause of infant mortality in the UK yet most infections are preventable. The charity informs and supports families and health professionals about the life-threatening infection. 

Peter decided to arrange the fund raising event after holding the funeral of baby Eleanor who sadly died at just 2 days old from sepsis triggered by Group B Streptococcus infection.  

Reverend Peter O’Connell spoke with Susy Radio’s Neil Munday about the condition and how he hopes the Skydive will help the cause.
