Amy Winehouse' Mother To Jump Out Of Pllane For Charity

Remember Amy Winehouse? She died of overdose of alcohol. The news is Amy Winehouse's mother is going to jump out of a plane to mark what would have been her daughter's 30th birthday. Janis, 58, will perform a parachute jump on September 29 to raise money for the Amy Winehouse Foundation. As well as making money for good causes, Janis - who is divorced from Amy's father Mitch - also wants to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) which she suffers from. She said: ''When I was asked about taking part in the parachute jump I just said, 'Why not?' That's my general outlook on life. ''Life is short, live it! This is important to me as it will not only raise funds and awareness for the Foundation, but also will let people know that having MS doesn't need to stop you doing anything you want.'' Janis' parachute jump will be part of a month's worth of celebrations - titled #Amys30 - taking place in September to remember Amy, who tragically died in July 2011 aged just 27.
