Join our Saturday Super Skydive on the 19th September - it’s a 12,000ft tandem skydive - from Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent. You’ll need to raise £395 which includes the cost of the jump and a donation of £150 to the Hospice. We’ll give you your own Martlets Skydiving sponsorship forms so you’ll have lots of time to collect money from friends and family. To take part in the Saturday Super Skydive you must book by July 24th - contact Clem in the Fundraising Office for an information pack and registration form.

Previous Martlets Skydivers tell us it’s the experience of a lifetime, the ultimate in thrill seeking!

 

The Martlets Mothers Day Skydive 09 was a huge sucess, a spectacularily sunny day meant all our skydivers completed their jumps and have so far raised over £2000.

What does a skydive feel like ?

Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 12,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the  wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Once the parachute opens everything slows down, you’ll have an incredible birds eye view accross Kent and on a clear day you can see all the way to the shores of France!  

 

Raising money for the Martlets

To take part, all you have to do is raise £395 in sponsorship and in turn we will receive a minimum donation of  £150. Of course we hope that anyone that takes part in our skydive will raise as much as they can!!

Each year we organise  two group jumps in aid of the Martlets - on these jumps everyone will be completing a tandem sky dive. However charity skydives happen all year round and there are several different types of jump available from tandem to solo, from 12,000ft  to 3,000ft - the choice is yours. If you would like to jump on another day or maybe you want to train to skydive solo in aid of the Hospice then please let us know.
