Parachute Jump

The Big Kirkwood Tandem Skydive

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 parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Stop imagining, it's real and it's happening this year and you can be part of it...

Kirkwood Hospice is looking for adventurous volunteers to make a fundraising parachute jump. Our Kirkwood Tandem Skydiving Team will jump from 10,000 feet, attached to a professional instructor. No experience is necessary as all training is given.

If you would like to skydive for Kirkwood, we have dates arranged throughout the year.  CONTACT US NOW FOR DETAILS.

All you have to do is raise £395 (or more!) for Kirkwood Hospice by asking your friends and colleagues to sponsor you. Please do not be put off by this amount - if you ask everybody you know to sponsor you, you will find you can quite easily raise the minimum £395 sponsorship and remember, every penny you raise over the minimum will be further contributing to Kirkwood Hospice whilst giving you the chance to make an exhilarating freefall parachute jump!

For further information and to book your place on The Big Kirkwood Tandem Skydiving Team, please contact Kate in fundraising on 01484 557911 or email: katel@kirkwoodhospice.co.uk. We will send you a full information pack and everything you need to take part in this experience of a lifetime!

THIS IS A SPECIAL KIRKWOOD HOSPICE EVENT, BUT YOU CAN ALSO ORGANISE YOUR OWN PARACHUTE JUMP IN AID OF THE HOSPICE AT ANY TIME OF YEAR. PLEASE CONTACT KATE IN FUNDRAISING FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
