Why it matters: The skydive on June 14 aims to raise more than £1,000 for Suffolk Mind, highlighting the importance of mental health support services in the region.
The details: The brothers will take to the skies over Beccles, supporting their sister Nicki Bush, who works for the charity's Suffolk Work Well Service.
The fundraiser is part of an annual event made possible by sponsor Churchmanor Estates, whose Head of Communications, Emma Proctor King, will also participate.
What they're saying: "I've always wanted to do one – I've been saying it for years," said Chris. "So when Nicki told me I could do one for Suffolk Mind, it was a no-brainer. And I knew I had to rope my brothers into it."
"I'm really looking forward to it. I can't wait. My feet have always been firmly on the ground but this can't come quick enough."
Chris said he hopes his dive will be the first of many as he looks towards doing solo jumps.
The bigger picture: The brothers said Nicki's work helping people experiencing mental ill health reclaim their confidence has inspired them to take on the challenge.
"The work they do is really important. I don't think mental health is spoken about enough, especially for men," added Sam, who is "absolutely buzzing for it" and "can't wait" for the skydive.
The bottom line: Corporate support is also playing a key role in the fundraiser. Emma Proctor King from Churchmanor Estates said: "Jumping out of a plane is a daunting prospect, but if a few moments of personal bravery help Suffolk Mind continue its life-changing work, then the challenge is well worth it."
