Last call for skydivers!

09.02.11

DAREDEVILS are being urged to sign-up for an exhilarating 10,000ft skydive.

The adrenaline-fuelled jump above Cirencester on April 3 is being organised by charity Meningitis UK and involves freefalling for 5,000 feet at up to 120mph.

Brave participants are being urged to get their registration forms in by Wednesday, February 15.

Toya Champ, events fundraiser at the charity, said: "We're really excited about this. It's the first time Meningitis UK has organised a skydive solely for our supporters and we would like as many local people to get involved as possible in what should be a fantastic day.

"You will be fully prepared in the morning and the jump itself will be in tandem with a professional parachute instructor.

"It has been described as a thrilling, once in a lifetime experience and is an excellent way to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause."

Money raised from the skydive will go towards Meningitis UK's Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign, which funds cutting-edge research to find a vaccine to eradicate all forms of the disease.

For further details and a registration form, please visit www.meningitisuk.org or call Toya on 0117 373 73 73.
