Story

Welcome to the Microsoft Charity Skydive Fundraiser

Like the parachutes we'll be wearing, a mind works best when it's open. So with open minds we're asking you to open your heart and help us raise money for the Helen & Douglas House.  In return for your donation we'll throw ourselves out of moving airplanes 12,000 feet above the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. 

The worthy charity we're supporting provide respite and end of life care for children and young adults with life-shortening conditions, as well as support and friendship for the whole family. The two hospice houses are bright, vibrant and positive places, where the emphasis is on living life to the full, even when that life may be short. What a wonderful cause!

Please help us to reach our target of £5,000 and Microsoft has kindly agreed to match it! Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, with Gift Aid reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

So please dig deep and help us to reach our goal! :-)

 

Small print:  Please note in your donation which Microsoft employee you're supporting so we can track it back to each fundraiser and get Microsoft to match the donation for that employee.

 

The actual date of the skydive is dependent on when we raise the funds, weather, and each persons availability.  The goal is to get everyone whose fundraising in freefall before the summer.
