1st Annual Jump for the Cure!

Has jumping out of a perfectly good airplane always been on your bucket list?
The 1st Annual Jump for the Cure is the perfect opportunity! We challenge you to sign up to perform a tandem skydive on August 22, 2010 to raise donations and awareness for a worthy cause – childhood cancer! We are asking each jumper to raise a minimum of $200 through donations with exciting incentive prizes in store for top fund raisers, one being a free skydive!
Even if you have never done a skydive before, you can sign up for this event! Vancouver’s Tandem Specialists at Pacific Skydivers in Pitt Meadows take care of everything!
“Your Tandem Skydive starts with 1/2 hour of ground preparation. The instructor wears special equipment built to take 2 people skydiving, and you wear a harness that attaches to the instructor’s equipment at 4 points: (2 shoulder connectors & 2 hip connectors). You are very secure! The airplane ride to 10,000 ft or 12,500 ft is 10-20 minutes (depending on airplane used), then you freefall out of the plane for an amazing 35 – 50 seconds before the instructor opens the main parachute. To finish your skydive experience, you help fly the parachute back to the landing area. The Tandem skydive requires a time commitment of 3-4 hours.”
