Skydive for Cancer Prevention

Weight limits

This is dependant on the airfield but is usually up to 18 stone. A surcharge of approximately £10 may apply for every stone over 15 stone. During the booking process you will be able to see the maxiumum weight limit for your chosen airfield.

Spectators

Bringing friends and family is encouraged! It's recommend that they arrive about an hour after your arrival time – this would give you time to have your training and get kitted up.

Jumps are weather dependent, so it's not usually possible to specify a jump time prior to the day.

You will receive an arrival time once you are confirmed with the airfield – this is when you will check in and receive your training for the jump. The jump time would depend on the weather and how many other people are booked in that day. There is a small chance you could wait all day until you jump. The airfields do operate a first come first served basis – so the earlier you arrive the earlier you will jump!

Included

When you fundraise for WCRF, you’ll receive:

• A personalised welcome pack full of fundraising ideas, information on our work and sponsorship forms
• A branded T-shirt
• A post-event certificate and thank you letter

World Cancer Research Fund

Skydive for cancer prevention

The charity funds research and health programmes to help prevent cancer and save lives.

Every day in the UK 1,100 people will hear the words ‘you have cancer’, but 40% of cancer cases are preventable. While society continues searching for a cure, WCRF are investing millions into prevention and survival work, helping people live healthier - free from the devastating effects of cancer.

Age requirements

For the tandem skydives the minimum age is 16. However anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump. You will have access to this once you have booked.

A few of the airfields have an upper age limit for tandem jumps: Cornwall has an upper age limit of 65, Lancaster and Whitchurch have a limit of 70 and Perthshire has a limit of 49.

Costs

It was even more special to be able to raise money for an incredible charity that is close to my heart. Having lost family to cancer, I wanted to help make a difference. Fundraising Ambassador, Viv
