Story
THE SKYDIVE!
After a short briefing you will be ready to jump from 13,000 feet. Training is run on the day. and students are strapped to the front of a Tandem Instructor who is there to control the skydive for you.
Once you exit at 13,000 feet you accelerate to 120 mph, covering each thousand feet in approximately five seconds. At 5,000 feet the Instructor will deploy the parachute which will then be controlled by both persons until you land softly and gently some four minutes later.
Help us make a difference to adult cancer patients in hospital!
OUR STORY
At The Lewis Foundation we source, package and hand deliver gift packs for free to adult cancer patients across the Midlands weekly. These are items that patients may not be able to buy themselves or simply cannot afford. This brings comfort and happiness at a difficult time. For many people in hospital our volunteers are their only visitors. The Lewis Foundation give away on average 2000 gift packs per month to 17 hospitals we support across the Midlands.
