Jump for Batten’s

So why not jump out of a plane and raise money for Batten’s?! We are delighted to have joined up with the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment Parachute Display Team to offer tandem sky dives.

To take part you will need to raise a minimum of £400 to be able to sky dive (£200 will be the cost of the the sky dive and the remaining amount will come straight to help The Batten Disease Family Association, of course, if you are able to pay for your jump yourself with all the money being raised going direct to help our work).

To arrange your jump call Corporal Dave Clarke stating clearly that you are jumping for the BDFA on 01227 818026 01227 818026 – Dave will take care of the rest. As Corporal Dave’s niece has Batten Disease he would like to do all that he can to help us support those affected by Batten Disease. So go on take the jump, take your friends – you’ll be in safe hands!
