Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 ft - 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 difference your support could make to the important research at the Nottingham Breast Cancer Research Centre. Your support could help find the next breast cancer breakthrough, faster.
Stop imagining, you can be part of it!
What does the jump involve?
Technically the jump is called a ‘Tandem Skydive’. It is a Skydive because you will be freefalling through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet; it is in tandem because you will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times throughout the descent. This is the only way you can jump from such an altitude without spending thousands of pounds becoming a freefall parachutist.
How do I qualify for a free jump?
All you have to do is raise £395* (or more!) for the Nottingham Breast Cancer Research Centre by asking your friends and colleagues to sponsor you.
If you have a question or would like to sign up for a skydive, our community fundraising manager would love to hear from you.
