He managed to raise £500 by completing the skydive.
Steve says: ‘We decided to jump from 15,000ft instead of 10,000 which is the usual height when skydiving.
‘We thought ‘‘if we’re throwing ourselves out a plane, then why not go a bit further?’’’
He adds: ‘This is important to me because of Charlie and how much the centre helps him.’

Steve has set up a charity page to help raise donations.
