SUPPORTERS of Wiltshire Air Ambulance can take their fundraising to new heights by taking part in a skydive for the charity’s Airbase Appeal.
The skydive will take place on Sunday 4th June at Old Sarum airfield, Salisbury, and participants will jump in tandem with an experienced, professional skydiver from 10,000 feet.
The sponsorship raised by the jumpers will go to the charity’s Airbase Appeal, which is raising £1.25million to complete the building and equipping of Wiltshire Air Ambulance’s new airbase at Semington, near Melksham.
One of those taking part will be Wiltshire Air Ambulance charity team member Hollie Perryman who said, “I’ve always wanted to do a skydive and it’s great to give something back to Wiltshire Air Ambulance as it has attended family members and friends of mine.”
Cheryl Johnson, head of Wiltshire Air Ambulance’s Airbase Appeal said, “We are delighted to offer this skydiving event to raise funds for our Airbase Appeal. Not only will you experience the dramatic scenery of Salisbury Plain from 10,000 feet, but you will also be helping us build a better future for your air ambulance by raising funds to complete our new airbase.
“Previous skydives undertaken for Wiltshire Air Ambulance have proved very popular and those who have taken part describe it as an exhilarating experience.”
