FREE T-SHIRT FOR EVERY PARACHUTE JUMPER!
Make your Parachute Jump for Rehab UK - a disability charity helping over 500 people each year back into employment or education following the effects of a stroke, brain injury or other disability.
How much is it to do?:
IT'S FREE, BUT THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:
- £70 Booking Deposit (which you can claim back from the figure below).
- Raise a £395 minimum sponsorship target thereafter. (Don't let the sponsorship target put you off as we have found over the years that as soon as a person gives their commitment to doing a jump the sponsorship target is quickly and easily reached.) Rehab UK gets £140 of this amount, and everything raised over £395.
Rehab UK's fundraisers have been promoting charity parachuting since its inception back in the mid 1990s. Since then, many hundreds of people have jumped for them - and every one of them has come back down to earth desperate to go straight back up - so good was the experience for them.
Make 2008 then the year you finally do a sky dive!
There are three different types of parachute jump that you can do with Rehab UK:
- 10,000ft Tandem Sky dive - where you get a short instruction and then are strapped to a professional parachute instructor for a freefall at 120mph for a few thousand feet before the canopy opens and you glide safely back to earth. This tends to be the most popular option for first-timers.
- Static Line Sky dive - Train on the first day and then jump on the second day from your attached 'static line' which automatically opens your parachute when you jump out of the plane from 3,000ft.
- AFF - Accellerated Free Fall - Get a full day's instruction and then launch yourself into your solo jump from 10,000ft. Freefall for a few thousand feet at 120mph and then open your canopy for a gentle glide back to earth.
Here in England, there are a choice of 21 jump sites, from Durham down to Cornwall, so there must be one near you.
