90-year-old Kindertransport refugee to skydive for charity

A 90 year-old Kindertransport refugee is set to skydive to raise money for Jewish Care.

Eli Abt, a retired architect from Finchley, advertised his plan to make the 13,000 ft jump on a JustGiving crowdfunding page.

Mr Abt wrote on the page he was also doing the jump to celebrate his 60^th wedding anniversary to his wife Muriel, 80 years since he boarded the Kindertransport, 50 years since he opened his architecture firm and 90 years since he was born in Berlin.

Mr Abt hopes to raise £6,895; he has already raised over £1,000.
