I am trying to raise as much money as I can for ‘Make A Wish Foundation’ ( http://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/ )

My job is to jump out of a plane on the 27th June at 10000 ft solo like, and in order for me to do this crazy thing for such a good cause, I would love to raise as much as I can. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it every little helps :slight_smile:

Here is my ‘Just giving’ page - http://www.justgiving.com/Claire-Hopkins5 thankyou for any donations

Hi Suze
Good for you girl. You will be strapped to an instructor - you can’t go solo until you’ve got your license :slight_smile: you will love it! I’m addicted and planning to complete my license as soon as i can raise the funds. Go enjoy :smiley: Q

Never done it before :w00t: but i thought if i’m going up to that height i might aswell go the whole way :slight_smile:

6

I am doing the training aswell so i can do it solo, 2 other instructors are jumping with me. I will be coming out with my level 1 certificate :slight_smile:

7

Nice work, I did a 14 k feet jump in Australia, what a buzz, you’ll love it!

Brave girl… bump this just before the jump and i’ll donate then… :slight_smile:

Nice one, I wish you all the best with this. I started to do parachuting in the late '80s, using static line at 2,500 feet using round parachutes. Even though I turned up to the airfield about 20 times, it always seemed to be too windy so I ended up doing only 3 jumps!Have been thinking of late about getting back into it, but training for freefall with modern square 'chutes.

Have fun! And for a great cause, as well :cool:Are you doing it at Headcorn?

13

14

Nice one, your doing a good thing. :smiley:

Not quite true. For AFF, you just have two instructors holding onto you. And they can (and in my case, did) let go :slight_smile:

Also, you’ll be exiting and flying solo from level 4 or 5 of your AFF if I remember right… it’s been a while for me :slight_smile: Where are you jumping ?

16

As promised babe, got a £100 for you…you are mad however :w00t:
