Barber Steve Rushbridge is hoping to overcome his fear of heights and complete a parachute jump for charity from a plane which will be flying at 2500 feet above Devon.

Steve, of Badcocks Barbers in Frome has agreed to undertake this challenge to raise funds for local charity the Julian Wort Memorial Fund, which supports Cardiac Risk in the Young, a national charity which raises awareness of hidden heart problems in young people.

To help him in his challenge, Steve is looking for a major sponsor to enable him to book the jump.  He can then go on to raise as much money as possible through sponsorship.

Anyone wishing to sponsor Steve can contact him at Badcocks Barbers shop in From
