Claremont Charity Skydive

Published on Fri 28 Oct 2011

In our mission to raise £3,000 for Claire House Children’s Hospice this year, five very brave individuals from Claremont took to the sky to do a tandem skydive.

On Friday 30th September, Mike Gardner, Ken Bundy, Jenny Durbridge, Hannah Howard and Marc Toomey nervously arrived at the Black Knight’s Parachute Centre near Lancaster, where they received training ahead of the big jump.

Two hours later they were 12,000 ft in the air on a beautifully clear day, where they all threw themselves out of the plane! All landed safely, and thought the experience was amazing.

Our brave five have raised almost £5,000 for Claire House which is a fantastic achievement and has exceeded our target, enabling us to raise even more money for this wonderful cause.
