Charity parachute jump in memory of Matthew Wilkin - 14th April 2007

We decided to do a parachute jump for CRY in memory of my best friend's brother, Matt, who sadly died of SADS.  Having heard about CRY we (me, my dad Peter, and sister Alice) thought this would be the perfect choice as a charity for us to skydive for.

Jacqui Alexander Tandem Skydive - 28th May 2006

Fay Hurley coming in to land Parachute Jump in memory of Michael Andrews by Fay Hurley
We were lucky to have a clear find day on the 6th, so two car loads of friends and very anxious parents made an early start for Dunkerswell airfield in Devon. Claire, Ester and Andrew went to get dressed up and instructed for their jump. Bob, my brother said, ‘2 miles, that’s not too bad, that’s just up to the shops and back at home'
