Jump for Breast Cancer Care
We offer three different parachute jumps. Take up the challenge by yourself - or get your friends and family involved and jump as a group!
How your support helps
£2 pays for a headscarf set, helping to boost the confidence of a woman who has lost her hair as a result of her breast cancer treatment.
£52 pays for a personal appointment with our HeadStrong service to help women cope with the distress of hair loss from cancer treatment.
£132 pays to connect someone going through breast cancer with a trained volunteer who has had a similar experience to them and can provide one-to-one support and reassurance.
What we do
Parachute jumping
About
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of the open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet, leaning forward out of the aircraft and letting go...
...as you fall forward into the clouds you begin freefalling at over 120mph!
Then the canopy opens and you'll enjoy wonderful views as far as the eye can see.
Imagine all this and helping to raise money for Breast Cancer Care at the same time.
‘It was a totally amazing experience, the adrenaline rush as you jump out of the plane cannot be described - everyone should try it!’
Michelle Thirsk
‘My Nan was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago, and it was this that made me jump for charity. It was her, however, that picked Breast Cancer Care. She talks of the literature and the lovely kind and caring people that helped her when she didn't understand or cope. So thank you and Breast Cancer Care for helping someone that I hold so close to my heart.’

Themed jumps
Breast Cancer Care JUMP days!
We will be launching themed jump dates throughout 2012 and we’d like as many Breast Cancer Care supporters as possible to take on a skydive challenge on our themed days.
We’ll support you with the fundraising in the lead up to your jump day, and we’ll be offering special rewards (matching the theme of your jump day) for your fundraising! You’ll be able to use the theme of the jump day to help with your fundraising too.
