CHARITY worker Helen Clayton is to take a leap of faith to raise money for the blind and visually impaired.
Helen works as a corporate fundraising manager for Henshaws Society for Blind People and on Sunday she will plunge 100 feet in a sponsored abseil blindfolded.
She said: "Being blindfolded is a crude representation of what it is like to be visually impaired. We have people here who do extraordinary things and I wanted to try and experience how more difficult it could become with a blindfold on and to raise awareness."
Helen, of Naseby Place, Prestwich, has roped in husband Jamie, friend Dan Wand, also from Prestwich, and her, father Steve Ingram, who lives in Sunnybank, to join her in raising money for the Old Trafford-based charity.
The abseil is at Manchester Velodrome from 10am.
