Join us to be a superhero for the day on Saturday 20th June!
With up to 30 spaces available across 3 time slots – 8am, 10am and 12pm – we can’t wait to have you take on this bucket list challenge to help us ensure that no child or young person has to face cancer alone.
Leap from up to 15,000 feet over the stunning North Coast, freefalling at 120mph for up to 60 seconds before gliding down for a soft landing in front of friends and family. From arrival to touchdown, the Skydive Ireland team trains you, supports you, and ensures the highest standards every step of the way. You’ll be securely harnessed to one of their expert instructors – each with thousands of jumps under their belts – using specialist equipment for maximum safety and comfort. No prior experience necessary!
Each week across the island of Ireland, approximately 10 children and young people (aged 0-24) are diagnosed with cancer. We simply could not be there for them to provide the vital practical, emotional and therapeutic support they need without amazing people like you by our side.
So it’s time to take to the skies and become a superhero for children, young people and their families impacted by cancer. Let’s ensure they don’t have to face it alone.
