A TEENAGER is poised to take on the challenge and thrill of a lifetime by wing walking for a regional charity.

On Sunday, 6 June, 18-year-old Davis Ince from Langdon Hills will be flying high to help realise the dreams of children and young adults aged three to 25 years who have life-limiting or threatening conditions or severe disabilities.

The charity is 'The Dream Factory' and Davis is supporting it by taking part in a Skymax Wing Walk.

Davis, a former Stanford-le-Hope St Clere's school pupil, is currently completing his A Levels at Seevic College in Benfleet and will be starting commercial pilot training at a college in Gloucester in September.

He told Nub News: "I am looking forward to starting my training in September but first wanted to help The Dream Factory. With help from sponsors, I can make 2021 a year to remember for deserving families by doing the wing walk".

"I will be flying 135mph at a height varying between 100 and 700 feet, experiencing the thrilling steep turns, dives and zoom climbs and going from a positive-G force to weightlessness!

"Your kind donations will help me fundraise towards brightening the lives of more children and young adults, making their Dreams come true!"

Avril Mills, founder and trustee of The Dream Factory said: "We are very grateful to Davis offering to fundraise for us. Any dream is possible, so if you can, please help Davis reach for the skies.".
