Ron Williams (pictured), who sold advertising space for the News in the seventies, will be doing a sponsored parachute jump at Dunkeswell airfield on Friday in aid of the Philippines Children’s Fund.
The budding daredevil decided to support the charity after reading an article about children on the infamous ‘Smokey Mountain’ rubbish heap in Manila.
“My wife and I were touched by the plight of the children and the work that the fund is doing out there,” Ron said.
“We want to help them make a real difference to these kids lives.”
