One fundraiser is using his family as inspiration for his charitable efforts.

Adam Kerry's family has always given to charity, and now the 44-year-old is raising money in memory of his father.

"Growing up, dad was like a celebrity of our village - everyone knew him and wanted to speak to him.

"He was a kind hearted and very generous man. He taught me about giving back to the community and those who are less fortunate," the Sandling resident said.

Mr Kerry's father, Tony, died in 2001, after suffering a stroke.

Following this devastating event, his son, who lives on Bodiam Road, was inspired to raise money for nationwide charity Stroke Association.

Tony Kerry had made a name for himself in the local area as a fundraiser, and was best known for pulling or pushing heavy items around Sandling.

"From pushing a piano to a lorry, my dad went above and beyond with his challenges to help raise vital funds for charity," his son described.

In the latest of a series of challenges, Adam Kerry and a team of volunteers will pull a jet ranger replica helicopter 24 miles across Kent.

The challenge will go through 10 villages over the course of the Bank Holiday Weekend this weekend.

Mr Kerry has previously been part of teams that pulled a boat for charity in 2012, and a tractor in 2014.

From his charity challenges, he has managed to raise more than £22,000 for Stroke Association.

Becky Beard, fundraising manager at Stroke Association, said: "With around 152,000 strokes a year in the UK - that's one around every three and a half minutes - it is vital that we have people who can raise funds for those affected by stroke.

"We're incredibly grateful to Adam and his team for taking on this challenge; the funds he's raised will go a long way in helping to support people who are living with the effects of stroke, as well as their families and carers."
