TWO estate agents will hoping for calmer weather on Sunday when they take part in a charity parachute jump.

Clint Hibbert and Derek Wilcox will join four others to leap from a plane with the Black Knights in Lancaster to raise money for the Zak Vali Foundation.

Zak, the son of Bolton businessman Asif Vali, died in 2015 aged 15 from a rare form of bone cancer. His parents Asif and Karen set up the foundation to raise money to pay for funerals for children under the age of 16 who have died from cancer in the town.

Derek, aged 34, area manager at Harrisons Estate Agents in Over Hulton, Bolton, said his nephew Kiegan Wilcox was treated at Manchester Children's Hospital for cancer, where Zak was also a patient.

And Clint, a director at Harrisons, knows Zak's dad as they both went to the Lads and Girls Club as youngsters.

Clint and Derek, who are also old school pals, are hoping to raise more than £1,000 for the Foundation. It will be Clint's second charity parachute jump.

Mr Vali said they would be dong a weather check on Saturday and hopefully setting off at 6.30 on Sunday in mini buses.

He added: "We are taking quite a few family and supporters with us and hoping Storm Doris will have gone."

The other four taking part are Stacy Buckley, Zak's aunt, Nabeelah Patel, the daughter of a close friend of the Valis, Steven Hayes another friend and Leanne Markland who saw the event advertised on Facebook.
