Story


First of all, thank you so much to all those who had sponsored me for my skydive. It was an incredible experience and I shall never forget it.

Secondly, I hope the money which I have raised goes to families who really need additional support and would like to thank Unique for the opportunity to raise money.

Many of you may not know this, but in order to complete the jump - I had to stick to a strict regime of swimming, running, giving up alcohol and binging on cakes (not really) in order to complete the jump as I was over the weight threshold.

The jump itself was incredible, almost unexplainable... and would gladly do it again, and again.... and again.
The staff at the Black Knights Parachute Centre near Lancaster were awesome, their personalities and charisma dulled my nerves, even at 8k ft! At 14k ft we were so high, it wasn't an issue to jump out of the plane and before I knew what was happening, I was hurtling towards Earth.
Overall I felt safe and secure and would recommend their services to anyone.

Again, my thanks to everyone and if you are yet skydive - do it before it is too late! It's EPIC!
