THE sky's the limit for Bury health and fitness club boss Mike Neary.

For Mike, who is general manager of the town's LA Fitness in Chapel Street, is to take part in a tandem parachute jump for charity.

He will be raising money for the Muscular Distrophy Campaign, a charity which gives hope to thousands of sufferers through research and expert medical care.

On September 1, with just one day's training, Mike plans to jump from a plane at Barton aerodrome, never having tried the sport before.

Mike is sure he can raise more than £600 for the chosen charity with support from club members.

Anyone who would like to sponsor Mike should ring him on 764 6177.
