Here's your chance to achieve that goal, raise much-needed funds for charity and have some serious fun at the same time...
You'll skydive from 10,000 feet or more, at speeds of around 120 miles per hour, securely harnessed to a professional skydiving instructor who will look after everything for you - from gearing up to touching down.
All you have to do is have the time of your life!
After an exhilarating freefall for 35 seconds or so, the parachute opens at around 5000 feet.
That's when you'll experience the amazing 5 to 7 minutes thrill of your canopy ride and soak up the most incredible panoramic views.
For details in making a skydive part of your fundraising, please click HERE
