Military charity looking for people to take part in sky-diving fundraiser to mark 100 years since the Battle of the Somme
Blesma, The Limbless Veterans are looking for adventurous fundraisers to take part the annual sky-diving event ‘Fall for the Fallen’.
This year is especially poignant as Great Britain marks 100 years since The Battle of the Somme, where almost half a million British soldiers either lost their lives or returned home with life-changing injuries.
Fall for the Fallen will take place at three locations across the UK on Saturday 02 July: Netheravon in Wiltshire, Sibson Aerodrome near Peterborough and Hibaldstow Airfield in Lincolnshire.
Those taking part are asked to raise a minimum of £400 which will cover the cost of their tandem jump.
Zanika Fearon, Community & Events Fundraising Manager at Blesma says: “Fall for the Fallen is such a special event in the Blesma Fundraising calendar. We aim to honour those who have fallen serving our country while raising money for those who live with life-changing injuries. Please help us to continue supporting injured veterans by signing up today!”
