kissinuk Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi, I'm doing my first skydive at the tender age of 39 this weekend! I'm jumping for the Born Free Foundation, right now I'm both very excited and very nervous! It's a tandem jump from 13,000 feet... If anyone wants to donate them I'd be very grateful, all of the money raised goes towards the charity (I'm funding the jump myself). More details on my just giving page here http://www.justgiving.com/pafinn A £1 donation can also be made by texting 'FINN97 £1' to 70070 Thanks and wish me luck! I will post photos next week...

Patricia W Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Good luck! My sister did this a few years ago. I'm not so brave. I hope you raise lots of money anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissinuk Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Well, I done it and made £500 in the end for Born Free Foundation. Had a brilliant time, Sibson is a great place really recommend it. Here's some photos 13,000ft up falling at 120mph! Can't believe people do this for a living, photographer hung onto the side of plane, then fell... If we weren't 13,000 ft up then yes this would be weird.....! The drogue is 'slowing' us to 120mph! This was after freefalling 8000 feet, thankfully it opened in one piece! Back on the ground Would I do it again? Yes! I have £20 off vouchers for friends if anyone wants to join me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
