Parachute Jumps - Locations across the UK
We are looking for people from all over the country to make a sponsored parachute jump on our behalf - raise the minimum sponsorship level and you can jump for free. Emma (pictured here) who recently jumped commented "it's such an amazing feeling that is so different to anything else and one of the things I think you should try in your life. It may look scary but I had no fear of it at all, once you start free-falling, the feeling is so good you forget any worries you had and just love it. I am so glad I had the chance to do something I had always wanted to do whilst raising money for The Cure Parkinson's Trust which is a charity close to my heart as my father has Parkinson's. I would highly recommend it to anyone who gets the chance to do it."
