Parachute Jumps

The MND Association is looking for people from all over the country to make a sponsored parachute jump on its behalf - and in return is willing to pay for it!!

Great way to raise money

Parachute jumps are an effective and popular way for an individual to raise money. You will find most people are willing to sponsor £5 or £10 and if you ask enough people you can easily raise a few hundred pounds!

You jump for free

Fundraiser does parachute jump In return for raising a minimum amount of sponsorship money the MND Association will pay for your jump and training and receive a sizable donation from your efforts at the same time!

Which jump should I choose?

It's completely up to you and as long as you raise the minimum sponsorship money you can jump for FREE!

If you want to experience the exhilaration of 120mph freefall you should choose a tandem skydive. If you want to jump solo with the option to progress in the sport you can do a  static line jump using a modern square canopy that allows you to steer. For the really adventurous, the Accelarated freefall is a solo skydive!
