The sky's the limit with an adrenaline-fuelled tandem skydive! Free fall from 12,000ft amidst breathtaking views of east Kent as you raise vital funds for hospice care.

Story

So on Sunday the 8th of September 2024 I will be doing a skydive in memory of my Nan and to raise money for the Pilgrims Hospice in Ashford who cared and looked after my Nan for three weeks before she passed away on the 5th of April 2024. The staff not only looked after my Nan but they looked after us as a family too through a very difficult time and I’m doing this as a massive thank you to them.

80% of the funding for Pilgrims Hospice is solely from donations and fundraisers, so any donations either big or small will be massively appreciated🕊️🪂

£12 could pay for a patient's meals for the day

£25 could pay for an hour of specialist nursing care

£35 could pay for the Pilgrims Hospices Community Team to hold a consultation with a patient in their own home

£45 could pay for a one-to-one bereavement counselling session for someone struggling to cope with the loss of a loved one.

Thank you!
