Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
All money raised will go to Cancer Research UK
Thank you to all who have donated to date. Due to bad weather, and high winds our jump was rescheduled twice, but eventually we jumped on 12th September 2009. We even had some spectators visit us at the 'drop zone' - Redlands Airfield, Wanborough, Swindon.
One reporter wrote:
"After a thorough training session lasting, oh all of 30 minutes the team assembled, supremely confident and ready for action. They didn't realise that there was to be a considerable wait whilst all the nervous fliers were selected before them. But the sun shone, there was lots of family support and a giant picnic courtesy of Tess 'Delia' Knight plus baby Evan (eight months - Team Mascot) to keep us all amused, ensured that the time would whizz past.
"Soon the moment arrived and Tess and Adi were asked to go first, followed thirty minutes later by Lucie and Fiona. Lucie said she didn't mind waiting as although her instructor did not in the end turn out to be George Clooney, he did say he would cancel the jump and take her out on a date!
"Soon the assembled supporters were craning their necks and checking the sky to see who we could spot first. Then the team landed one by one, packed up their parachute with their instructors and made their way back to to the applause of family and friends and a some well earned champagne. "Exhilarated", "Fantastic" and "Speechless" were some of the comments, the last by Tess who then couldn't stop telling us all about the experience!"
