How Much?
Registration is a non refundable £70
Sponsorship is £500, this to enable research into cures and treatments and to help us provide practical and emotional support. You must have raised at least 60% of your overall fundraising target two weeks before the event takes place in order to confirm your skydive place.
This could take up to 3 or 4 months to raise so think about when you would like to jump based on your fundraising.
Why take part?
We depend on our muscles to do the things we want. To walk, jump, eat, smile, cry, most of us probably take these things for granted.
Making life exhausting if you live with a muscle wasting and weakening condition, they can cause difficulty walking, swallowing. breathing, pain, heart problems and failure, life can be more challenging, or cut short. But there is hope.
We’re the leading charity for over 60 muscle wasting and weakening conditions, connecting our community for over 60 years, coming together to improve understanding, providing advice and support, working with healthcare providers so everyone can get specialist care, campaigning to break down barriers, fundraising for breakthroughs in research. Because everybody should have the best quality of life. Now.
We make sure expert advice, support and healthcare are available to more than 110,000 people affected living with muscle wasting and weakening conditions, and the people around them. Helping us all feel good, mentally and physically.
With generous people like you doing a skydive, we’re also accelerating access to effective treatments, working with pioneering researchers in labs, by combining our willpower, we have made advances that would have been unthinkable just ten years ago.
Together we’re stronger!
