How to take part
Registration
The registration fee is £70 and we ask each participant to reach a minimum fundraising target of £395.
Simply choose an airfield, and register through our partners at Skyline Events.
On challenge day, your safety and enjoyment is our priority.
These jumps are tandem so you will be attached to a professional freefall parachute instructor at all times - no previous experience is necessary, just an instinct for fun! The airfield team will be there to support you as you take on this brave challenge.
What's included when I join Team Marsden?
Your registration includes:
- a fundraising pack
- a charity t-shirt for you to wear on the big day (if you decide to forgo the festive costume!)
- dedicated fundraising support and advice to help you reach your fundraising target
- access to our supportive Challenge Events Facebook group
What's skydiving really like?
Preeti took part in a charity skydive earlier this year and has shared with us what it really feels like.
"It was an experience like no other. This was a whole new level of excitement and such a unique experience.
The view from up there was incredible, and I felt like I was floating in the clouds, even though I was actually going super fast - over 125mph.
When I landed, I felt both incredibly small and incredibly big at the same time, and I secretly wished the whole experience was even longer!
The team from the airfield was just incredible. They made sure every moment was calm and enjoyable.
I would definitely recommend anyone to do this; in fact, I have done already. Trust me, it's an experience you won't want to miss!"
