A father and his son are to take on a paragliding challenge to raise funds for wounded soldiers.<\/p>\n
Ron and Adrian Mutton, 66 and 35 years old respectively, will be paragliding over the Himalayas to generate cash for the Help for Heroes cause, the Oxford Mail reports.<\/p>\n
The pair will embark on the three-day expedition next month, which will include flights that last between two and three hours at heights of 5,000 feet.<\/p>\n
Mr Mutton said: "I saw pictures of some guys paragliding over the mountains and just thought it looked fantastic."<\/p>\n
He added the duo are really excited about the challenge and described it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\n
The pair have no target they would like to raise for the charity, stating they simply want to collect as much as possible.<\/p>\n
A recent auction held by Witney Outriders – which attracted around 200 people – generated around £800 for Help for Heroes, the Oxford Times reported.<\/p>\n
