Fundraising: Take the plunge for Sheffield Children’s Hospital
Not every fundraising challenge will take you out of your comfort zone, but there is one, in particular, that will do just that, as well as being something you can tick off your bucket list.
As an events fundraising officer at Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, I have the privilege of regularly meeting incredible people doing extraordinary things to support our hospital – whether they’re running further than they’ve ever run before, climbing higher than they’ve ever climbed before or bravely taking on something that once felt impossible.
This spring, we’re inviting even more of you to be brave and go further than you’ve ever gone before - to take the leap… quite literally.
Our next charity skydive is on Saturday May 30, and it will be an unforgettable experience.
Imagine sitting in a plane at 15,000 feet, heart racing, looking out over the patchwork of fields below.
Then comes the moment of pure adrenaline as you jump, followed by the breathtaking calm of freefall and the surreal silence as the parachute opens.
It’s unlike anything else you’ll ever do.
But what makes it even more special is the reason behind the jump.
Every pound raised from a sponsored sky dive helps us to fund the life-changing and the joy-sparking at Sheffield Children’s.
We make clinical care kinder and bad days brighter, bringing play, laughter and comfort to places where they’re needed most.
By taking the plunge and getting behind our charity, you’re helping us to support the thousands of patients and families receiving care at Sheffield Children’s, from across the UK and beyond.
The thrill of the sky dive is pretty amazing and doing it for such an important cause makes it even better.
If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe one day,” take this as your sign to give it a go!
