Well, only a couple of days to go before my first ever skydive. Getting a little twitchy but can't wait. Raised over 500 for the rnli lifeguards.

For Global Angels we don't have a sponsorship amount for anything... it is just the costs of the event.. we don't get involved in that.

Everyone pays their own way and then we raise funds on top of that on our site our wherever... so that the public know that 100% of what they give goes directly to children. It is a different model of fundraising. x

Hi there - Everest Skydive has places ..... anyone can join that.. have to have over 300 jumps to go solo and they are quite expensive... last year they were between £12-17,000... not sure how much this year.

Hi there - so glad you put my dvd on your site... We are doing another skydive in the Himalayas in October this year... and planning others around the world. I do hope you will be able to do one as well and get your friends involved.. cool way to be an Angel and help kids in great need at the same time.
Here is where skydivers can invite others to join them for an event.

Please let me know if you have any cool ideas x

HI there - great to connect. Thanks for asking about Global Angels.. we are an international childrens charity... finding amazing projects all around the world that are helping very disadvantaged kids like street kids, orphans, trafficked and enslaved kids, child soldiers... once we have researched them etc... we partner to promote them and raise funds to help empower the project to the next level providing such things as water wells, schools, hospitals, rehabilitations, education, food etc.. And we have a 100% Promise... every penny or cent we raise for them goes directly to their project to provide tangible things for them as above...

yes, we do music events, and are encouraging everyone to do their own sports event or party or... to help us help these kids... we are working on some new skydive events too and hope you can join us... Wendy Smith and Omar are working on the events... love to hear any ideas you have.

First Skydive accomplished! Tandem with the Red Devils

Just a quick post, as I'm still grinning to hard to type to much (it's effecting my vision!). I did my first skydive today, with the red devils in Netheravon. It was a tandem from about 13,500 ft, which included the most exhilirating 55 second freefall. i loved that soooo much! I was first out of the plane, and surprised myself how nervous I wasn't. It was just a surreal but awesome experience and I would urge anyone to it. You simply must tick this off your to do list.

Added bonus was that I r… Continue

R3TRO's skydiving adventure - 1st timer!!!



Ha Ha (nervous laugh)!. I've done it. If you don't know what I'm on about, I'll enlighten you.

For a while now I've been talking about signing up for a sponsored Sky Dive, in support of our friends at the RNLI Life Guards. Well, rather than just talk about, I was stupid enough to actually sign up and pay for the priveledge of chucking myself out of an aeroplane.

Don't get me wrong, I am bang up for it and… Continue
