A FUNDRAISER hopes the sky will be the limit when he abseils from the Tyne Bridge for charity.

Tan Ellahi, 26, of Stainton, Middlesbrough, has signed up for the challenge to raise money for the British Lung Foundation.

He hopes that, as a Teesside representative in the Tyneside event, local people will show their support by helping him raise £10,000.

He said yesterday: "My mother has asthma and a lot of other people also have it. The charity deserves a lot of support."

Anyone wishing to sponsor Mr Ellahi for the challenge, taking place on Sunday, May 6, should ring him on (01642) 515367
