A big, ‘Well Done”, to Mark Sansum for his adventurous 15,000 feet Skydive. (With a long 60 second freefall!)

Mark, from the Carlton Hotel, Bournemouth, decided he wanted to do a skydive for pleasure and lucky for us, thought he would use the day to raise some money for BWD at the same time.

It was a beautiful day, with perfect conditions. A great tandem jump was successfully achieved.  

"It was an incredible experience. I loved the 60 second freefall and we made the goal too!"  - Mark

He is thrilled to have completed the challenge and land safely. He raised £200 for BWD.
