Local disability charity, Diverse Abilities, is asking dare devil local supporters to take to the skies by taking part in a skydive or wing walk in aid of the charity that supports children and adults living with disabilities across Dorset.
On 30 March, at Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury, experience the feeling of free-falling 10,000ft or 15,000ft whilst attached to a professional instructor. You will then enjoy a magical five-minute parachute ride across the beautiful countryside, where the views include sites of prehistoric interest. If you are unable to make the date, alternative arrangements can be made.
Or would you prefer to experience a one of kind thrill by taking on the wing walk on 2 June at Compton Abbas Airfield in Salisbury? Flown by a qualified wing walking display pilot, you will get the chance to complete flypasts, zoom climbs, steep dives and banks with speeds of up to 120mph.
Sue Reid, events manager at Diverse Abilities, said: “Your once in a lifetime challenge will last for a short time, but for the people we support and their families their challenges can be for a lifetime. By signing up and raising funds, together we can transform lives and provide vital care and support to children and adults with physical and learning disabilities in Dorset. I was so excited by the wing walk challenge that I even signed up myself.”
