Hide AdMr Galloway will be taking on the challenge of a skydive at the Skydive GB Parachute Club in Grindale, Bridlington, to raise money for Victim Support.
Mr Galloway said: “I chose skydiving as I wanted to push my body to the limit. I’m quite an adrenaline junky anyway so I thought it would be quite a good thing to do.
"I’m not really afraid of many things, but I will definitely panic while I am up there!
“A while ago me, my brother and my friend did a 57-mile walk from Bridlington to Hull and back and managed to raise £1,300.

“Over the years I have had a couple of bad overdoses that could have ended my life, but I have spoken to mental health teams and I seem to be dealing with it a lot better.
"Doing this for others in need is giving me a purpose, as well as having my two beautiful daughters.
“It helps me, knowing I am helping others who are going through the same circumstances.
