A young man diagnosed with a rare cancer will be skydiving for a teenage cancer charity.
Sam Benson, 20, was found to have a secreting germ cell tumour on the pineal part of his brain in June 2013.
His symptoms started with double vision and mild headaches, before the pain became more severe and was regularly being sick and sleeping for up to 20 hours a day.
Sam, of Vicarage Meadow, Halstead, is due to take on a tandem skydive for Teens Unite on May 2.
