Rahma has been diagnosed with leukemia and wants to travel with her parents, 4 brothers and 1 sister to see the Elephants in Malaysia.
Two staff members from Towers Rotana Dubai, Danielle Aychouh the Marketing & Communications Manager along with Donna Kenyon the Recreation Manager jumped from 10,000 feet with a 40 seconds free fall to support Rahma's wish.
The sponsored event "Jump for Joy", took place on Wednesday the 26th of November 2008 at 11:00am at the Aeroclub in Umm Al Quwain.
Following the jump, the famous Long's Bar will be hosting a themed "Crash Landing" after-party where there will be a raffle draw with prizes to be won.
The event was sponsored by Big Bus, Raymond Sport, Platinum Homes, True Colours Advertising Agency, Intermetal, Stallion Printing and the Magic Touch company.
"These families are strong people who face their fears everyday. By jumping out of a plane, we are doing something which is out of the box, but where we will also get to face our fears," Danielle and Donna said.
