Daredevils 'take to the sky' for hero soldiers

Daredevils 'take to the sky' for hero soldiers

A couple of daredevils have jumped out of a plane in an effort to raise money for brave soldiers.

Kelly Symonds and Martin Nichols have taken part in sponsored skydives to generate funds for the Help for Heroes charity, the Beccles and Bungay Journal reports.

The duo were inspired to take the leap by Mr Nichols' younger brother Steven, who recently returned from a stint in Afghanistan with the 1st Battalion of the Royal Anglian Regiment.

Beccles skydiving centre played host to the event, which saw the pair fall 14,000 ft.

Mr Nichols commented: "When I first looked out of the plane I thought 'oh my god' but then suddenly it was too late and we were on our way."

He added the experience was amazing and would like to go through it all again.

Haringey's Safer Transport Team recently organised a traditional community fair in Wood Green to raise cash for Help for Heroes while also teaching children how to remain safe in the summer months.
