THE half-sister of a dedicated lifeboat volunteer, who died in a road traffic accident last year, has decided to jump out of a plane to raise money for a new Barmouth RNLI lifeboat.

Craig Steadman, 28, died after the bike he was riding was involved in a collision with another vehicle on the A55 near Llanfairpwll in August 2015.

Friends and family were left shocked and stunned by his death and are rallying around with Holyhead RNLI crew, to help raise £26,000, towards a new lifeboat which will be located at Barmouth Lifeboat Station where Craig often visited on camping trips as a child.

The appeal hopes to ensure Craig’s memory lives on saving lives at sea.

In order to help boost funds, Craig’s half-sister Jeni Hall, 23, has decided to skydive this Friday, an activity she has never partaken in before.

“I thought it would be a good idea to do something a bit crazy and jump out of a plane,” Jeni said.

“It’s not something I’ve considered before, I quite enjoy flying but never had the urge to jump out before!

“I’ve raised £400 so far, but hoping to raise as much as possible in Craig’s memory, I can’t believe it’s nearly been a year [since his death].
