BTRS Says Jump! You Say “How High?”

 
Brain Tumour Research and Support across Yorkshire (BTRS) is holding a Yorkshire Day Skydive at Bridlington Airfield on 1st August 2019.

Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of the spectacular coast of East Yorkshire down below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, skydiving down through the air as you start free falling at over 120mph!

BTRS pledges to cover the cost of your place in the Yorkshire Day Skydive. Your side of the bargain is to raise minimum sponsorship of £400.
No experience required. All training given.

Sign up via our website at: http://www.btrs.org.uk/Support-Us/Fundraising/Events/Yorkshire-Day-Skydive!

Our skydivers have already raised £2,500 this year and counting. Last year a whopping £10,000 was raised. Can we soar above it?

Nicki Hood, Community Fundraiser, said:
“We had such a brilliant day last year we thought we’d do it again. This year we are working directly with guys at Skydive GB at Bridlington Airfield. The people jumping for BTRS all have their different reasons for taking on this challenge but all of them are jumping for one outcome: to beat brain tumours.”
