Get jumping to boost charity


THE SUMMER months are the perfect time for a charity parachute jump.

The Meningitis Research Foundation is seeking adrenalin junkies in Wiltshire to jump for free to jump for free in our summer skydiving fundraiser.

Stepping out of a plane at 10,000 feet, you will freefall at an exhilarating 120mph for 5,000 feet before pulling the ripcord and gliding gently back to earth.

This experience of a lifetime is free as long as you raise a minimum of £395 in sponsorship.

The skydiving experience is taking place at two dedicated parachute jumping facilities – the Skyline British Parachute Association centres in Salisbury and Swindon – with several courses available to suit all levels of experience, from novices to those with parachuting experience.

For more information contact Meningitis Research Foundation's fundraising team on 01454 281814 or email fundraising@meningitis.org.
