DAREDEVIL Sam Woodsford is going to massive lengths - hundreds of feet up in the air - to raise money for his new workplace.
The 19-year-old set his heart on a new career helping people with autism after an inspirational summer holiday.
He spent time with a family friend who lives at Ashley Road in New Milton, a supported living scheme for six men all in their 20s with autism or Asperger's.
Sam ditched working as a wakeboard and water-ski instructor to get a job there and is now preparing to take a leap of faith to raise £1,000 to refurbish the centre's kitchen.
"I fell in love with the type of work after the holiday," said Sam. "It's a change of pace but I love it and it was definitely the right choice."
The brave support worker, of Barton Court Road, New Milton, will do a bungee jump on Saturday to the delight of his new colleagues.
