Story

Imagine this... you're sitting in the open doorway of an aircraft, your feet dangling below you. You look up and see the clouds above - you're flying at 15,000 feet! Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go, falling forward into the clouds below, free-falling at over 120mph before the parachute opens and you begin to skydive over the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside.

Join St Barnabas Hospice and Skydive Hibaldstow to achieve this experience of a lifetime on a day you will never forget. Make 2021 the year where you tick skydiving off your bucket list and help raise money for people living with a life-limiting or terminal illness across Lincolnshire. Whether you want to fulfil a lifetime ambition, jump in memory of a loved one or push yourself out of your comfort zone, we are here to help every step of the way.

The jump is a tandem skydive, which means you will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times. The jump and training are completed in one day and your instructor will be in control of your landing.

Once you are registered, we will support you all the way up to and including the event itself. Not only will you receive your own cotton St Barnabas t-shirt to wear on the day, you will also be invited to be a part of our Adventure with St Barnabas private Facebook group where you will be able to meet likeminded people and talk about your challenge. Our Fundraising team will be on hand to support you with fundraising ideas and advice.

Your sponsorship money will make a real difference to patients and families across Lincolnshire who are living with a life-limiting or terminal illness. You will be helping to ensure that St Barnabas Hospice can care for more patients and families in Lincolnshire, every day of the year.

By way of example, every £14.02 raised will enable us to provide one hour of specialist at-home care to a patient living with a life-limiting or terminal illness.

About the charity

St Barnabas Hospice is the leading charity in Lincolnshire providing palliative and end-of-life care to adults living with a life-limiting or terminal illness. Our vision is a world where dying with dignity, compassion and having choices is a fundamental part of a life.
