The mother of a five-year-old boy given a slim chance of survival after a caravan blaze that killed his younger brother has completed a charity skydive in honour of those who saved him.

First-time flyer Erin Harvey jumped out of an aeroplane on September 10 to raise money for Wales Air Ambulance and to thank them for "their part in saving Harley".

Little Harley, aged five, was left in a critical condition after fire ripped through their caravan in Ffair Rhos in Ceredigion in January.

Erin's youngest son, three-year-old Zac, tragically died in the blaze. The boy's father, Shaun, was hospitalised.

"They are an incredible charity, the work they do is amazing," Erin said.

"They are the reason Harley got the care he needed as quickly as he did after the fire.

"They are part of the reason Harley is here with us today and we can't thank them enough."

Erin, who was "super excited" about the jump despite never being in a plane before, added: "It was absolutely incredible. One of the best experiences of my life.

"I had a few moments where I was a little nervous, but I was more excited than anything. The view above the clouds was beautiful."

Erin, who set a fundraising target of £750, has managed to raise £760 for the Wales Air Ambulance.

Mark Stevens, South Wales Fundraising Manager for Wales Air Ambulance, thanked Erin for her "truly awe-inspiring" efforts.

Earlier this year Erin said their "family will never be the same again" following the tragedy.

Harley was transferred from Bronglais to Bristol's Children's Hospital, for the vital care he needed, by Wales Air Ambulance.

She said: "I thought jumping out of a plane was a fitting way to raise money for the Air Ambulance, also I knew I needed to do something big to raise as much money as I could."

Mr Stevens added: "It is impossible to imagine the pain and sadness that the family must be going through.

"From such a tragic incident, Erin has decided to raise money to help others who find themselves in medical need.

"This is truly awe-inspiring and shows incredible resilience.

"We wish young Harley well with his recovery and thank Erin for her generosity and inspiration."
