This weekend, Sunday 7th May, three members of the team from park home selling specialists Quickmove Properties, will be taking to the skies over Wiltshire to complete a 15,000ft skydive in aid of the charity Alzheimerโs Support.
This latest daring endeavour is just one of a number of charity events organised by Quickmove Properties, with the team also embarking on the Quickmove Walk to Remember in June, which will see them take on a half marathon hike over the course of the day.
While the Walk to Remember promises to be a test of endurance, this weekendโs event is set to be a slightly more high octane affair, with the fundraisers plummeting from a plane over the Wiltshire countryside, free falling for 60 seconds at an eye watering speed of 125mph.
When their parachutes do (hopefully) open, they will be rewarded with a spectacular birdโs eye view of the county as they make their way back down to solid ground.
The event is being facilitated by GoSkydive, one of the UKโs leading skydive companies who specialise in first-time tandem skydives.
Each member of the Quickmove Properties team has set their sights on raising a minimum of ยฃ425 for the skydive, with the total funds raised currently sitting at ยฃ2,954 including Gift Aid.
So keep your eyes peeled this weekend and see if you can spot the team as they take on this terrifying task.
Sales Director at Quickmove Properties, Mark OโDwyer said, โAlzheimerโs Support is a charity that is incredibly close to our heart as a business and weโre delighted to see such engagement, enthusiasm and bravery from the team in taking on the fundraising events weโve organised.
The money raised will go a long way in helping the charity support those diagnosed with Alzheimers, as well as those who have been living with the condition long term, whether it be advice, support, day clubs, activity groups and much, much more.
I have to say, the skydive must be especially daunting for first-timers and Iโm glad that Iโll be cheering them on from the safety of solid ground and so we would urge anyone in the local area to come down and show their support for such a great cause and, if possible, make a donation.โ
Community Fundraising Manager at Alzheimerโs Support, Rachel Fear, added, “Quickmove Properties are an adventurous bunch who’ve set themselves these impressive challenges to raise funds for us. The Quickmove team also visited Sidmouth Street last year to deliver Christmas gifts to club members – such a lovely gesture. We are enormously grateful for such kindness and support.ย Good luck everyone!”
