Parachuting

If you are looking for a challenge why not try a parachute jump?

This is the ultimate high adrenaline activity that will give you a brand new view of the world.

Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft at 10,000 feet – the wind is ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Then it’s go, go, go as you start to freefall at over 120mph!

You can now enjoy this incredible opportunity completely free just by raising the minimum sponsorship – from £360 depending on the type of jump you choose.

A choice of dates is available at various parachute sites around the UK. For further details and an information pack please contact the Children Today fundraising team on 01244 335622 or book online here!

… and just so you know we put our money where our mouth is - our founder, Hugh McCaw, threw down the gauntlet at a recent team meeting and offered to sponsor the first member of staff who volunteered to throw themselves out of a plane at 10,000ft!

Never one to turn down a challenge, Lois Lee  was quick to volunteer and successfully completed her tandem skydive on Sturday 18 October. Lois commented, “Have you ever thought Why did I open my big mouth? Well, in this case, it’s far too late now! I’ve stupidly volunteered to throw myself out of a plane at 10,000 ft. BUT it’s all in a great cause. The scary thing is that I’m absolutely petrified of heights and the thought of physically doing this skydive literally churns my stomach upside-down. But, however […] challenging I’m going to find this event, it pales into insignificance when compared to the physical challenges the sick and disabled children and young people we strive to help at Children Today face on a daily basis.”

If Lois can do it why can’t you? Or if you can’t face it yourself you could sponsor Lois on her Just Giving page!
