Hospice seeks skydiving volunteers
27th May 2010
If you are looking for an adrenaline rush then jumping out of a plane with a parachute attached to your back could be the answer for you.
One hospice in Ulverston, Cumbria, is hoping to find 30 people who want to experience the thrill of a skydive in the name of charity.
The North-West Evening Mail revealed that 27 people who made the leap of faith last year raised £5,000 for St Mary's Hospice.
Zoe Guest, funding and operations manager at the organisation, told the newspaper that the hospice hopes to find "30 very brave people", adding that they will help "raise a significant amount of money to help support our work".
St Mary's Hospice provides palliative and end-of-life care free of charge, however, it is estimated that these services cost £2.2 million every year.
If you like the sound of doing a skydive but do not live in this part of the country then you could try and win a chance to jump out of a plane in an online auction.
Quick2bid offers prizes such as gift experiences, which can include skydiving. You could win one of our online auctions for gift experiences and be preparing to make the jump before you know it - and all for a fraction of the retail price.
