Two generous people will take leaps of a lifetime to raise money for a Somerset disability charity.
Martin Dawe and Sarah Phippen are both undertaking skydives in aid of Escape Support Group.
It is an organisation that supports families with disabled children through activities, outings and short break holidays.
Mr Dawe is the father of an autistic son with sensory processing disorder, a speech delay, and a daughter who's awaiting assessment.
Through his personal experience of raising an autistic child, the Escape Support Group has been an invaluable support system for his family.
As a token of gratitude towards the organisation, he has chosen a skydive as his way of giving back.
His fundraiser has garnered great support, already exceeding its £1,000 goal by raising approximately £1,100 so far.
The skydive is set to take place on April 28, with Mr Dawe's fellow supporter Sarah Phippen.

Like her friend, Ms Phippen is also embracing her adventurous side.
She's ticking off activities from her Things To Do Before I Die list upon hitting 50, with a skydive standing prominently on the list.
In addition to achieving a personal milestone, Ms Phippen aims to use her daring leap as a means to fundraise for Escape Support Group, an organisation she describes as "one big family."
Her fundraising goal is a rather unique one, hoping to raise £1,973 in line with the year of her birth.
Currently, she has amassed around £900, inching her steadily closer to her goal.

Through their daring leaps, both supporters intend to raise awareness and funds for Escape Support Group.
The organisation has been instrumental in not only their lives or the lives of their children, but also for numerous families across Somerset, who face the daily challenges of raising a child with disabilities.
