HE PLANS TO SKYDIVE IN AID OF CITY ANIMAL SANCTUARY
A DARE-devil great grandfather who is afraid of heights will mark his 85th birthday by skydiving 15,000ft in aid of a Plymouth animal sanctuary.
Roger Marshall, from Plympton, plans to launch himself from a plane at Dunkeswell Airfield, near Honiton, to raise money for Woodside Animal Welfare Sanctuary, at Elfordleigh.
Roger, whose nickname is ‘Mad Max’, has undergone two hip replacements and is terrified of heights – even afraid to walk across the Tamar Bridge. But the brave grandad is determined this will not stop him when he heads out onto the runway on November 10, a day after his 85th birthday.
