A 17-strong group from Spicerhaart have raised over £11,600 for the Magic Moments children’s charity after jumping out of a plane above Cambridgeshire.

Pippa Major, Spicerhaart Operations Manager and the event organiser, said: “It was the most amazing day. Falling through the air from 15,000 feet at 125mph is one of the most exhilarating experiences I have ever known. We were in freefall for 60 seconds before the chute was released and in freefall for another five minutes and it was so peaceful.

“There’s also a real sense of relief when everyone has landed safely. There was so much excitement and anticipation thought the day, but also a sense of teamwork, knowing we were all there to raise money for such a great cause. In fact, it was such a success we will now be making the Magic Moments skydive an annual event!”

It was such a success we will be making it an annual event.

Magic Moments is Spicerhaart’s children’s charity which takes children with life limiting illnesses and their families to Disneyland Paris ever year, supporting 13 children’s hospices across the UK.

Chair of the Magic Moments charity, Emma Barber, said: “We are so grateful to everybody that took part in this incredible challenge, and also to everyone who sponsored and supported this event. Without the generosity of our Spicerhaart family and friends, we would not be able to take the families who are going through the hospice journey to Disneyland Paris.”
