Alistair's Fundraising Page for Macmillan Cancer Support

Macmillan Cancer Support exists to help improve the lives of people affected by cancer - those with cancer and their families, carers and communities. We are a source for support, helping anyone affected by cancer navigate through the system to get what they need, and a force for change, working to improve cancer care.

Raise for a good cause using a Sponsivity Wager Challenge, and we will cover the cost of a tandem Skydive for you! Simply set a Wager target of at least £500, and once you reach this target, we will email you with a fully paid voucher to jump at the location of your choice.

A tandem skydive is an exhilarating experience where a participant is securely harnessed to an experienced instructor who manages all technical and safety aspects of the jump, making it an ideal choice for first-timers. After a brief safety and instruction session lasting around 15-30 minutes, the pair ascends to an altitude of 10,000 to 15,000 feet before exiting the aircraft together. The freefall, reaching speeds of up to 120 mph, lasts approximately 30-60 seconds, followed by the deployment of the parachute at around 5,000 feet. The subsequent canopy ride, lasting 5-7 minutes, offers breathtaking views and a smooth glide to the landing zone, where the instructor ensures a controlled and safe landing. Tandem skydives are designed to provide maximum thrill and ease of access, allowing participants to fully enjoy the experience without needing extensive training, making it a popular choice for charity fundraising and adventurous individuals alike.
