Story

Jump at the chance of an adventure to remember in 2022 with Dr Kershaw's Sky Dive challenge and enjoy the freedom of freefall from 15,000 feet. It's the perfect adrenalin rush after all these months with our feet fixed firmly on the ground.

You will be in the very experienced hands of Skydive Northwest in Flookburgh, near Grange over Sands on the Lake District coast. This is less than two hours drive from Oldham with accommodation available nearby if you prefer to stay overnight before or after your jump.

A tandem sky dive requires minimal training and is the safest and most popular choice for first time skydivers. The instructor flies and lands the parachute, leaving you, securely attached in your dual harness, to relax and enjoy stunning views of the Lake District. No experience is necessary.

As a member of the DRKH Sky Dive Team on Sunday 19th June you can look forward to a fantastic experience that will be one to remember forever.

You will also have the joy of knowing that, through your efforts, you will be flying the flag to support a terminally ill patient and their family, to make sure they receive the care they need here at Dr Kershaw's to give them their best possible day too.

If you haven't yet booked your place on the plane then you can call the Community Fundraising Team and speak to Barbara or Lillie on 0161 624 9984 who will be happy to answer your questions or email fundraising@drkh.org.uk.

With limited places available for the date, take a deep breath, make the leap and book your place today and make 2022 the year to say I did it! I did a sky dive!
