Tony Parkins life was turned
upside down when he was rushed into hospital 31st May 2009 with terrible pains
in both of his legs.
The surgeons rushed him into theatre and started a marathon operation to save
his legs. Fortunately they managed to save his left leg but amputated his right
leg.
When Tony came round from his operation his drive and determination was
incredible he was determined that this setback would affect his life as much as
humanely possible.
During his rehabilitation his 71 year old mother Sheila went to Black Knights
Parachute Centre in Cockerham and completed Sky Dive for the Steve
Prescott Foundation. Having witnessed his mother’s fearless courage he vowed to
follow her footsteps.
Incredibly 12 months to the very day that he had his leg amputated he will be
attempting a Sky Dive with the World Famous Red Devils Parachute Team at Langar
Air Base Nottingham. The Red Devils have a specially designed harness that will
allow Tony to take a leap of faith from an incredible 15,000 feet.
He will be joined by his inspiration Steve Prescott MBE and Rugby League Greats
Paul Sculthorpe, Terry O'Connor, Steve Hampson as well as ex Everton Legend
Derek Mountfield and Emmerdale Star Kelvin Fletcher (Andy Sugden)
