Sunday 15th September 2024 Tandem Skydive, Strathallan Scotland
ALL FUNDS RAISED will be going towards a replacement electric wheelchair for Finola, & any surplus will be donated to renovating Finola's current electric wheelchair for Alex, Finola's neighbour, who has secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. All costs related to the skydive have been donated.
Skydive Strathallan is located in Central Scotland & operates at Strathallan Airfield, near Auchterarder. Tandem Skydiving is where you jump at 10,000 ft attached to a highly experienced instructor. The jump will provide a freefall of 5,000 ft & flight on a high performance parachute, all controlled by the instructor.
Henri, Finola's mummy, is determined to raise £5.5K that will enable a replacement Quickie Jive electric wheelchair to be placed on order for Finola. Her current electric chair fundraised by the Finola Trust in 2017 cost £13,100 will then be refurbished/fitted for Alex, & gifted to her.
For the last two years we have been raising funds towards the est target of £15,5K to make the new electric wheelchair happen (costs conf by Motus Medical. To replace it is £17,051 however Motus Medical knowing what we are trying to do has reduced the cost to £15,5K. Thank you so much).
To date a staggering £11,371.64 has been raised by The Finola Trust. Thank you so much.
Finola's mummy has agreed (despite the fact she can't even go up a stepladder without feeling ill/has a phobia refalling), to be launched out of a plane! She visited Strathallan Airfield with Finola in March & has now received the go ahead it can go ahead yikes!
Please help Henri to conquer her worst nightmare & sponsor as she is determined she will do it!
This truly is a big deal for me.. despite Finola telling me it will be fine as I will be attached to a nice man ... this will be the BIGGEST, SCARRIEST thing I have ever done
