Take on a Skydive for My Sight Notts
Calling all thrill seekers! Are you ready for the ultimate challenge?
Why not take on the challenge of a lifetime and help raise funds for My Sight Notts? Jump from two miles above the earth and freefall at terminal velocity before floating gently to the ground under the parachute – all whilst harnessed to a fully qualified parachuting instructor!
There’s no experience like jumping out of a plane at 14,000 feet and soaring through the sky at speeds of up to 125mph!
You can choose when and where to jump.
The nearest airfield is Langar Airfield, Nottinghamshire, NG13 9HY.
Registration – £70. This is the only cost to you, as long as you raise the minimum sponsorship.
Minimum Sponsorship – £395
Skydiving is a truly unforgettable experience. Get in touch to find out more or register for your jump here.
