Tandem Parachute Jump 09
£2,900 £3,000 target
On Sat 11th July 2009, 11 of Tanith's friends and family are doing a tandem skydive to raise money for the fund.
In addition to the money (min £4,400) we are raising for Breast Cancer Campaign who have arranged the jump we are hoping to raise the same again for Tan's fund.
Please support Justyn, Holly, Glynis, Lewis, Kevin, Rob, Jason, Jim, James, Matt, Nick...especially as some of them are really scared!
UPDATE - We did it! Despite substantial cloud cover that meant we had to wait all day for conditions suitable for a tandem jump, we did it!
On Saturday all of us successfully went to 15,000 feet, did a free fall to around 7,000 feet (took about 1-2mins), and then "floated" to the ground (5-8mins). Everyone landed successfully and was able to walk away unaided!!
Big thanks to our instructors (who we got very very close to), the supporters who sat and waited over 6 hours for us to jump and of course to our very generous sponsors. Thank you all.
Check out the photos in the gallery.
