Wanted: Adventurous volunteers to parachute jump for Cancerbackup!

Over 100 people signed up with us last year to make an exhilarating tandem skydive - for many, it was a lifetime’s dream, which Cancerbackup have helped them to achieve.

Experience the true exhilaration of skydiving - for FREE!

Tell me more...

No experience is necessary, as all training is given, and if you raise £395 you will receive your jump for FREE!

Cancerbackup will receive a minimum donation of at least £110. In addition to this, every extra pound that you raise over the minimum sponsorship comes straight to Cancerbackup - so please try to raise as much as you possibly can!

The jumps can be made at any weekend at any one of 25 British Parachute Association approved sites in the UK.

What do I do next?

Those who have dared


Michele Smollett's parachute jump

Michele Smollett raised a fabulous £1,361 for Cancerbackup. Very sadly Michele lost her father to pancreatic cancer the week before her jump, but she felt that he was with her in spirit.

Michele said:
"it was the most amazing experience, more so because it was for Cancerbackup".
