At Mackrell International, we often say our lawyers are on top of the world.
But occasionally, they go beyond the extraordinary and even walk on air … Last month, Natalie Payne from Mackrell.Solicitors in London did just that.
She completed (survived?) a ‘wing walk’ to raise money for a fabulous charity, very close to her heart, Aoife’s Bubbles.
As Natalie recounts: “For 10 minutes I was strapped to the front of a bi-plane and whistled through the air at 120mph - we did swoops, turns and side dips (that was the most unnerving and made the stomach turn!). I loved it!
It was the best sensation to hold your arms out and feel the wind beating you back. (Although, the g-force makes your skin move in an unflattering manner!) The best part was the bird’s eye view – we have such lovely countryside in the UK. It takes your breath away and actually your mind off the fact that you are strapped to a plane!”
Like all of our Mackrell International legal family, Natalie always goes the extra mile (high?) for clients.
However, on this occasion, the wing walk was for “Aoife's Bubbles”, a charity set up in memory of her, “little warrior princess of a niece, Aoife”, who was diagnosed with germ cell cancer in 2019 and within a week of diagnosis had passed away. Natalie would appreciate any and all support for Aoife’s Bubbles.
