The ref's taking a dive

FOOTBALL referee Martin Hughes is used to a challenge but they don't come along any bigger than this!

The daredevil delivery driver, who officiates in his spare time, is throwing himself out of a plane at over 10,000 feet and even has to pay for the pleasure of doing it!

Martin must raise £400 in order to do a tandem skydive and parachute jump in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Trust.

"Everyone thinks I am crazy to want to do it but the cause is a very good one so I want to do it," he said.

"My dad, Thomas, suffers from it so that makes me even more determined."

Multiple Sclerosis is a condition that attacks the central nervous system and affects the lives of thousands of people in the UK.
