Parachute Jumps

Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below.

We are looking for people from all over the country to make a sponsored 10,000 feet freefall parachute jump on our behalf and in return we are willing to pay for it! All we ask is that you raise £350 in sponsorship money in order for you to jump for free and in turn we will receive an average donation of £135. In addition to this, every extra pound that you raise over the minimum comes straight to the hospice.

Skydives can be booked throughout the year with the North West Parachute Jump Centre, Cark Airfield, Flookburgh.
