Drop in to help the disabled

Disability charity WheelPower, who provide opportunities for people with disabilities are looking for able bodied volunteers with a sense of adventure who are seeking the ultimate thrill - a sponsored parachute jump.

There are three types of jump available; a skydive from 10,000ft attached to a professional instructor, a solo jump from up to 3,000ft and accelerated freefall which is performed solo from 10,00ft.

You can jump on the weekend of your choice from one of over 20 British Parachute Association approved airfields across the U.K. No experience is necessary as all training is included.

If you want to feel the ultimate adrenaline rush call WheelPower on 01296 395995 or email info@wheelpower.org.uk for information.

Fundraiser Paul Rushton said: ‘This challenge is the perfect way for thrill seekers to help us improve the lives of thousands of children and adults with disabilities. Better still, the jump is completely free to everyone who raises enough sponsorship’

Paul continued ‘Sport is the medium through which WheelPower helps people with disabilities improve their quality of life. Often at a time when there are many negative things in a person’s life, sport is a real positive. Through sport many people whose lives have been traumatically changed can have an outlet for their frustrations and energy. By focusing on something they can do, and potentially can excel in, increased confidence and a positive outlook can be achieved and this can influence other areas of their lives.’
