About the event
St John's Hospice is excited to partner with Skyline Events bringing you this amazing skydiving opportunity. Take part in this tandem skydive, where your jump and training will be completed in one day, and you will be harnessed to an experienced instructor at all times during your skydive.
You will get to freefall down to 5,000 feet -falling through the air at 120 mph! You will also get to ride the parachute down to the ground – you will be taught how to steer onto the drop zone. Don’t worry about the landing, this will be controlled by your instructor. You will also receive a certificate from the airfield to prove that you have completed a ‘two-mile high’ Tandem Skydive!
You can request any two dates in the year when you would like to complete your skydive and choose from a list of participating airfields subject to availability. If you are based in London, your closest airfields are Maidstone and Peterborough.
"I wanted to do this Skydive for St John’s so they are able to continue showing the same care and compassion we received to others and in continued memory of my beautiful cousin, Nicola.”
Sophie, Supporter.
