Skydive Day 2016 

On Saturday 9th April 2016 Leukaemia Busters held a Skydive Day in conjunction with GO Skydive at Old Sarum Airfield, Salisbury. 

Kirsty Batchelor, Katie Merritt and Sam Ryalls had signed up to jump that day.   They decided to take part because Kirsty’s father has been diagnosed with leukaemia and is currently undergoing treatment at Southampton General Hospital.  We send all our best wishes for his recoverY and our thanks to Kirsty and her friends for taking on this challenge.  Despite a sunny start to the day, the weather changed mid-morning so Kirsty’s team and their friends and families had a long wait until they were at last able to make their skydive at 4.00.  However, they had a great time and have raised over £1600 in sponsorship and donations for Leukaemia Busters.
