We are Riding, We are Diving… and We are Raising Money for MIND 🏍️🪂✨

This summer, a group of brave (some might say slightly mad) Bikers from Bristol Biking Girls and Zoomies are taking part in a charity skydive — jumping from 15,000ft to raise vital funds for MIND, the mental health charity. I don't mind admitting that I had hoped my first sky dive would be before I was 55!lol.

Occasionally though, like I do, you might find yourself sat on the bottom of the stairs stealing a few moments just to wonder what the point of it all is. The long hours, the endless demands and deadlines to catch up to and to battle to exceed. Luckily, as a biker I use my riding to try and find some relief from the self-imposed mental tortures. To clear my head space, the sense of freedom, the joy from chasing an ever expanding horizon that asks nothing more than a full tank of petrol.

For others this is where Mind helps.

On Saturday 12th July, we will be riding out together, supporting one another on the road and then throwing ourselves out of a plane, all in the name of better mental health support.

Why MIND? 🧠

Because too many people are still struggling in silence. MIND provides support and advice to anyone experiencing a mental health problem, and campaigns to improve services and raise awareness. It’s a cause that means a lot to many of us, and we want to do something big to help.

Each sky diver is committing to raising £1000 — and every donation, no matter how big or small, gets us one step closer to that goal.

If you are able to support us, we would be so grateful.

Your donation could help someone feel less alone, access the help they need, and know that they are not forgotten.

Thank you for being part of this! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Let’s ride. Let’s dive. Let’s make a difference.
