A gardener will be hoping to land his feet safely back on the ground when he skydives to raise money for charity.

William McInally, 35, of De Cham Road, St Leonards, will be falling from a plane at 10,000ft for Epilepsy Action on July 28 and hopes to raise £800.

It is a charity close to William's heart as three-year-old son Luke suffers from the condition.

He said: "It will be my first time ever but I'm not afraid. All my mates down the Hastings and St Leonards Angling Club are backing me and I'm holding a raffle there as well on June 23.

"I'd like to say a big thank you as well to all of the businesses who have donated prizes for the raffle."
