Candidate conquers heights fear to raise charity cash

An aspiring politician set aside his fear of heights to complete a charity abseil.

Josh Fenton-Glynn, Labour’s prospective Parliamentary candidate for the Calder Valley, descended 100 feet down an abseiling wall at Rokt Climbing Gym, Brighouse, raising £1,000 for the Forget Me Not children’s hospice.

Josh said: “I felt terrifed but it was for a fantastic cause, a charity close to all our hearts.”
