Jump
Are you interested in the thrill of a lifetime? Freefall 10,000 feet and raise money for World Child Cancer!
World Child Cancer has teamed up with Skyline to offer a wide range of skydiving opportunities. We aim to introduce people from all walks of life to the thrill, freedom and exhilaration of skydiving in a safe, professional and fun environment whilst raising valuable funds in aid of World Child Cancer.
What is a tandem skydive?
A tandem sky dive is a 'once in a lifetime' experience. Jumping out of an aeroplane over two miles up, strapped to a professional parachute instructor, you will freefall through the air for several thousand feet at over 120mph. The instructor will then open the canopy and you begin the smooth parachute descent from a mile up in the sky as you and the instructor steer yourself to the centre of the drop zone below.
- Jump and training completed in one day
- Harnessed to an experienced parachute instructor at all times
- Jump from at least 10,000 feet - just like the professionals
- Freefall down to 5,000 feet - falling through the air at 120 mph!
- Ride the parachute down to the ground – you are taught how to steer onto the drop zone
- Landing controlled by your instructor
- Certificate to prove that you have completed a 'two-mile high' Tandem Skydive!
What do I have to do?
You will need to pay a deposit of £70 plus raise a minimum sponsorship of £325 in aid of World Child Cancer (£395 in total). The cost of your jump is between £170 and £200 which means that World Child Cancer benefits directly from an average of £140 per person. If you feel unhappy that your sponsors contribute towards the costs of the jump then you may want to consider paying some of the costs yourself. Skyline have 24 drop zones all over the country – to view their online map click
