Please support Pete's incredible bravery, this is no normal parachute jump, pete's story is a astonishing story of how you can overcome adversity.

I was twenty six when I had my accident. I was a builder and joiner by trade and playing rugby league was my first love. I had played rugby league for fifteen years and enjoyed great success playing for amateur club West Hull. They had won Premier League titles, a National Cup and numerous local cups.

I captained Yorkshire to a County Championship and possibly would have played for BARLA Great Britain if I hadn't been injured at the time. My cousins played for rivals Hull Dockers and I decided to play alongside them. In only my third match for Hull Dockers, I took an innocent scoot from acting half back and sustained a very serious injury.

Somehow I must have twisted awkwardly and managed to break my neck in two places, paralysing me from the chest down. I spent eight months in Pinderfields Hospital where I was told I would never walk again. Three years on and I'm out of my wheelchair and walking with crutches.

Now i am attempting to fly with the Red Devils.
