IF there is one thing chef Annette Thompson hates it is heights - even standing on a table can make her shake.
But later this month she will be forced to overcome her fears after volunteering to make a parachute jump for charity.
The 44-year-old, from Castlegate, Malton, North Yorkshire, has pledged to do the jump for a breast cancer charity later this month.
She agreed to challenge when parachute instructor Dave Walker came into the pub where she works - the Globe, in Yorkersgate - and asked for volunteers.
"I'm doing it because I've known one or two women who have had breast cancer," she said.
