A PUB landlord from Winterbourne Stoke is hosting a charity bungee jump inspired by his four-year-old daughter, who has Type 1 diabetes.
Brett Smith, who is landlord at The Bell Inn, is appealing for thrill seekers to sign up and take part in the jump on July 5 to raise money for Diabetes UK.
His daughter Megan was diagnosed at the age of two after becoming very thirsty and feeling unwell. She now receives insulin continuously through a pump attached to her body, and has her blood glucose level monitored every two hours by her parents during the day, and frequently throughout the night.
