A British dad has won hearts, along with raising awareness of a cruel disease, by skydiving for his stepson. The leap was no mean feat, as the man is allegedly so afraid of heights that he feels dizzy standing on a chair.

Josh Collins, 28, a barber by profession, volunteered himself for the skydive to raise funds for an all-terrain electric wheelchair for his 8-year-old stepson, Zach Holland, as the young boy’s request is stuck in a backlog with wheelchair services owing to the pandemic.
