Saints Foundation Charity Skydive

Hi all

I finally got to do my postponed tandem skydive this morning.......What a rush it was stepping out of a perfectly good plane 2 miles up!
It was an amazing experience, and although I felt a bit shell shocked when I landed, it's something that I wouldn't mind doing again at some point.
About 18 people jumped today including several of the player's wives and Foundation staff so I would imagine that we've raised a good few thousand for the charity in total.

Thanks to all of you who sponsored me, I've raised £445, so not far off my original target of £500 - Page is still open if anyone wants to donate still.

(I paid for the jump myself so all the money collected is going to the charity rather than subsidising the jump costs.)

 

Hi Mate.......... glad you actually made the jump at last. As you say it is quite a thrill jumping into fresh air. The sense of freedom excitement and just the thrill of what you are actually doing is so hard to describe. Looks like you had a good clear day for your jump. Anyway congrats on completing your task........BT

 

Good stuff and well done; worthy cause too. I'm off to Kenya in November with the Foundation where I'll get to meet Nicola Cortese!

 

Hi Optimistic, I was one of the jumpers as well. Brilliant experience, wanted to go straight back up and have another go. Well done to everyone who did it, don't think Ade, who organized it all, will be rushing back.

Well done to Mrs Chaplow and Mrs Butterfield for jumping, and to Richard, Danny and Dan Harding for signing my sons shirt.

Well done to the Saints Foundation for organizing it, brilliant day!

 

SwanNickSaint, I looked a bit like Ade did when I got to terra firma! took a while for the adrenaline rush to wear off

 

well done one and all

 

Well done lads at least you were not like some on here, always jumping to conclusions!
