Nine staff from a Co Armagh dental practice are set to face their fears in aid of a children's cancer charity.
Staff at Portadown based Mydentist will be taking part in a sky dive in aid of the Cancer Fund for Children, a charity that is close to staff member Louise Ferguson's heart.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Louise said that she had previously undertaken a sky dive for charity in memory of her sister-in-law who died from cancer.

"All of the staff do our own things raising money for different charities and we have a lot of runners who do marathons so we decided that we would have to do something bigger that didn't involve running," she said.
"The Cancer Fund for Children is a great charity and running the marathon would have been too easy for some of our group so we decided to take it to the limits and get pushed out of a plane.
"I done a sky dive last year and there's no training involved, you just turn up and fall out of the plane."
Louise said that the group are hoping to raise as much money as possible ahead of the sky dive in September by involving staff who aren't taking part in the sky dive.
"We have a bag pack coming up and are running a number of other fundraisers in the practice such as guessing how many tooth brushes are in the jar.
"There is also plans for a bake sale to raise some more money for the charity too.
"We are hoping to raise about £6,000 for the charity which will be our biggest target to date."
