Some of you may already know me, and some of you may not. For those who don’t, my name is Anthony Cook. I’m 40 years old and born and bred in Wiltshire.

On Saturday, 29th August 2026, I’ll be taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life by jumping from 15,000 feet at Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury to raise money for the Wiltshire & Bath Air Ambulance.

This is something I’m truly passionate about. The Wiltshire & Bath Air Ambulance provides a life-saving service across our county, responding to people on what could be the worst day of their lives. We all hope we’ll never need them, but the reality is that any one of us, a family member, a friend, a work colleague or even a complete stranger could one day rely on this incredible team. That’s why supporting this amazing charity means so much to me.

The charity is also very close to my family’s heart. My wife volunteers as Marsha, the Wiltshire & Bath Air Ambulance mascot, attending shows and community events throughout the year to help raise awareness and support. Seeing the dedication of the volunteers has inspired me to do my bit, so I’m paying for the entire skydive myself. That means 100% of every donation will go directly to the charity.

I’ve set myself an ambitious fundraising target of £2,500, and with your support I’d love to smash it.

Whether you know me personally, have crossed paths with me over the years, support the charity, own a local business, or you’re simply someone who wants to help, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. People from all walks of life have the power to make a difference.

Whether you’re able to donate £2, £5, £10, £20 or more, every single pound will help keep this incredible charity flying and saving lives. No donation is ever too small, and if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this page with your friends, family and colleagues could help it reach someone who can.

I’m also looking for local businesses who would like to sponsor my fundraiser. In return, I’ll proudly promote your business throughout my fundraising journey, thank and tag you across my social media, and include your business in my final thank-you post after completing the skydive.

As a small token of my appreciation, every single person who donates, whether you’re an individual or a business, will receive a personal thank you on my fundraising page and across my social media. Every donation matters, every share helps, and every act of kindness is genuinely appreciated.

Let’s come together as a community and see if we can not only reach £2,500 but go even further. Every pound raised will help the Wiltshire & Bath Air Ambulance continue providing critical care and saving lives across Wiltshire and Bath.
