BRAVE souls plunged into the icy North Sea to support a charity close to their hearts.
Helen Holmes, from Barnard Castle, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 18 and last May suffered a hypoglycaemic attack which left her with severe brain damage.
When Miss Holmes turned 30 last week (January 7), her friends would have loved to have partied with her to celebrate but instead chose to mark the occasion with a charity dip in her honour.
