A man with motor neurone disease has completed a "terrifying but awesome" skydive for charity.
Liam Blaney, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2021 and now uses a wheelchair, jumped from a plane at 15,000ft over Devon on Saturday. The 54-year-old, from Nuthall, Nottinghamshire, and friends who dived with him, have raised nearly £10,000 for the MND Association.Mr Blaney said: "I had to do the jump in tandem with an instructor. He was sitting in the door of the plane and I was strapped in front of him sitting on, well, nothing."It was completely terrifying but also the most awesome experience. I absolutely loved it.
It is the latest of a series of fund-raising challenges he has undertaken which include scaling Snowdon, pushed by his friends, in 2022. Linda Allen, director of fundraising at MND Association, said: "We are absolutely delighted Liam has chosen to do this remarkable fundraising in our name.Follow BBC East Midlands on
