DOWN'S Syndrome sufferer Pascal Caviglioli sky-dived 12,000 feet to raise hundreds of pounds for charity.
Pascal, 19, of Gaynesford, Lee Chapel, Basildon, braved his fear of heights to leap from the plane in the name of Essex-based disadvantaged people's charity Interact.
The teenager wanted to give something back to the charity, which helped him find new friends and lead a more independent life, and decided to take part in the dive at Hinton Sky Diving Centre near Oxford.
He said: "I hate heights, but it was for a good cause."
