We are #TeamAirborne a mixed group of six fearless parachute jumpers, who are willing to exit a perfectly functional aircraft at 3,500 ft for a solo fixed line jump -

Each member of our team is seeking to raise £500 for Refuge - a vital national organisation which saves women and children from the threat of domestic abuse.
Statistically, every week two women die as a consequence of abuse from a partner or ex-partner. The third most common cause of death in pregnancy remains domestic abuse.
These are harrowing statistics.
On any given day Refuge will be protecting 2800 women and their children from the threat, risk and harm associated with domestic abuse.
Our efforts, and your generosity with safeguard ten women and their children - and our overall goal with Running4Refuge is to raise £10,000, which will protect fifty women and their children.
This is vital, life saving work. Please give as you can afford to.
