Story

Oh my! Are they really jumping out of a plane?!

On Sunday 4th June 2023, 1pm at Langer Airfield, Nottingham, Joseph and dad Les will be jumping out of a plane in a Tandem Skydive to raise money for Footprints Conductive Education ( A local charity very close to our hearts) Fortunately they'll be strapped to a professional who we're assured will know exactly what they're doing!

Footprints is a charity supporting children with disabilities and their families. Joseph attended from the age of 1 until he started school, and to this day still remains in touch with them. In a 26km tandem bike ride with dad at the beginning of lockdown he managed to raise an amazing £5,000! Although a challenge, he would love to achieve this again if possible, as every penny will go towards supporting Footprints, who rely totally on charitable donations.

Hard to believe, but Joseph is now 18 and what better way to prove what a brave man he is than to attempt a tandem skydive. How great that Joseph and Les will be flying in the plane together and may even manage a wave to each other while free falling. Joseph is certainly a thrill seeker, loving the scariest rides at Alton Towers, but how will this compare?! Watch this space!!

Joseph and Les would be thrilled to have people there to cheer them on and celebrate their success, so if you can make it please come along! x
