Adrenaline junkie ready for skydive challenge

by Ethos public relations

Adrenaline junkie Nathan Malley will throw caution to the wind and jump out of an aeroplane at 10,000ft in Peterlee this Saturday (11 September) to raise money for national disability charity Action For Kids.

Gateshead resident Nathan, who is originally from Liverpool, hopes to raise £500 for Action For Kids - which helps to support children and young people with physical and learning disabilities and their parents and carers. The account manager at Remploy decided to do the skydive as he has a brother who was born with spina bifida and appreciates the benefits charities such as Action For Kids can offer.

Speaking in the build up to the skydive, which is taking place at Peterlee Parachute Centre, 27 year old Nathan said: “After seeing an advert about charity skydiving and reading some of the case studies showing how the charity helps people, my mind was made up!

“My job involves generating vacancies for people with health conditions and disabilities and this makes me determined to raise as much money as possible and to raise awareness around the services that both Action For Kids and Remploy can provide.”

Sarah Greene, Events Fundraiser at Action For Kids, said: “It is great that Nathan is doing the skydive in aid of Action For Kids. The skydive is a fun and exhilarating experience and we wish him all the best. The money he will raise is invaluable to the work we do and this courageous act will make a number of kids very happy!”
