If you have ever wanted to do a parachute jump now's your chance! Rethink are looking for hundreds of adventurous volunteers to make a fundraising parachute jump, and if you raise enough in sponsorship you will get to jump for free!

There are three types of jump available:

'Accelerated FreeFall’ where you can experience the thrill of skydiving solo from up to 12,000 feet.
‘Tandem Skydive’ from 10,000 feet attached to a professional instructor.
‘Static Line’ jump which is performed solo from up to 3,000 feet.

You can jump from any one of over twenty British Parachute Association approved airfields across the UK. No experience is necessary as all training is given and if you raise from £360 (depending on the type of jump you choose) you will get your jump for free!

In August 2009, Louise completed her first ever tandem skydive and raised a fantastic £600 for Rethink! Louise tells us:

"I've always wanted to do a skydive but i've never been brave enough to sign up and actually do one. Finding a cause that I felt passionate about gave me the courage to go ahead and do one.

I jumped from 12,000 feet and when I exited the plane I did two backwards somersaults before freefalling for 7,000 feet at 130mph! Once the parachute was opened I got to steer us down which was quite hard work as it was really windy. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is thinking of doing one!"

So if you would like to make a thrilling skydive from 10,000 feet or an exhilarating solo jump from up to 3,000 feet, contact us now!
