Management Accountant, Divyesh Depala, of Finchley, North London, is set to swap the comfort of his office for the thrill of hurtling through the sky during a parachute jump in order to raise vital funds for two charities.

Divyesh, who works for leading facilities management and building services provider, Inviron, in its Airports Division, is supporting Refuge, which helps women and children suffering from domestic violence. The other charity to benefit from his bravery is Macmillan Cancer Support, which provides practical, medical, emotional and financial support for cancer patients and their families.

The 25-year-old said he's excited about the jump and delighted to be supporting such important charities.

Divyesh said: "We all know the prevalence of cancer and the worthy work that Macmillan has been doing for years. With regards to supporting Refuge, I was shocked to learn from government figures that it accounts for 16% of all violent crime, claims the lives of two women each week and 30 men per year and will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime."

Divyesh will do the skydive on Sunday 23rd September.
