Parachute for Parkinson's

Skydive
  • When: Saturday 12 June 2010
  • Where: Netheravon Airfield (near Salisbury, Wiltshire)

A huge congratulations to all of the Parkinson's UK team that completed their skydives on the 12 June!

After a long wait for volcanic ash to clear our brave group of 14 finally made their way to the Netheravon Airfield, filled in the forms and completed their training.

Our group of skydivers included celebrity supporter Amy Guy whose mother has Parkinson's, our very own Chief Executive Steve Ford and Director of Fundraising Paul Jackson-Clark. Perhaps bravest of all was Len Humphreys 76, who had never been in a plane, jumped out at 14,000 feet!

The group has so far raised over £10,000 for Parkinson's UK.

Duration: 1 minute
