    Man Faces Fear Of Heights By Skydiving To Raise Money For His Terminally Ill Stepson

    07 october 2020

    A man from Daventry, Northamptonshire who is so scared of heights he can't even stand up on a chair without getting 'dizzy' has completed a skydive to raise money for his terminally ill step-son.

    Josh Collins faced down his biggest fear on 29 September so that he could help buy his eight-year-old stepson Zach Holland a £13,500 ($17,500) customised all-terrain powered wheelchair that he says will be 'life-changing'. At the time of writing, they had raised just over £13,000.

    Now, this whole mission wasn't without mishap. In fact, Josh and his pal Dan Perks had their dives cancelled twice because of essential aircraft maintenance and high winds.

    That's not what you want to hear when you're terrified of heights, is it?
