What better way to free fall from 14,000ft (4.2km) than to do it whilst raising money for charity! So immensely grateful for the fantastic support from family, friends, and anonymous philanthropists who helped me raise $1,740 over 6 weeks for Support for Mums! Collectively, the Mother Jumpers fundraising event has raised just over $36,000!! Brilliant effort I say!
Here’s some photos to share the AMAZING ride, that takes your breath away.
(All photos, except the landing series, were supplied by Skydive The Beach Melbourne. Stills from our video!)
The view was incredible, perfect conditions. | Fellow MotherJumper, Robyn and I, waiting nervously.
Time for my aviator goggles. | Door opens. The pile up!!!!
ONE DOWN!!! (This was my scariest moment, sitting by the door watching 4 divers drop out before me… like bricks! :P)
Screaming as I’m pushed to the edge! | Hanging on for dear life, remembering instructions to hang our feet outside, ‘under’ the plane. Right….
Freakin’ brilliant summersaults out of the plane!!!!!
Just plain free falling (!!)
Enjoying myself… honestly.
What I would look like with a facelift! :)
Relaxing a little | Taking in the breeze :)
Exhilaration. The moment the shoot opens :)
Riding the wind… soaring.
Yes, I have the parachute ropes! Guiding us to land :P
Heading for the landing… (Thanks to my brother Mike for these photos!)
Safely back on the ground. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
