No, he’s not mad, just satisfying an ambition and raising money for the Katharine House Hospice Fund.

By the time you read this, Dr Agnew should have made his jump from an R.A.F. Hercules aircraft into the sea near Poole Harbour.

However, it is not too late to sponsor him (contact the surgery) or to make a donation to the Fund.

GOOD LUCK, DR. AGNEW, AND A SAFE LANDING.
