We have another courageous adrenaline junkie for you this week. Dean Dunbar, born in Edinburgh, suffers from a rare condition called rod and cone dystrophy which has affectively resulted in Dean losing his eyesight.
He hasn’t let this hold him back though and he caught the adrenalin bug 2 years after the condition took away his eyesight completely, partaking in a skydive for the first time in his life. Speaking to the Daily Record, Dean speaks of how he got hooked on extreme sports,
“I can’t describe the feeling I got from the experience.
“They say that drug addicts keep taking drugs so they can get the same feeling of their first high – and I feel exactly the same about the skydiving.
“By the time my feet touched the ground, I was addicted to the buzz. Now I’m constantly trying to find bigger and better extreme sports.
Dean has no plans to hang up his pulse-raising boots just yet either, with plans to swim the English channel for his chosen Scottish charity.
