Skydives

For the thrill-seekers out there, why not take to the skies for The Children’s Cancer Unit Charity? Challenge yourself with a tandem skydive, taking in the views as you leap at over 15,000ft!

You can take part in a tandem skydive at Skydive Ireland in aid of The Children’s Cancer Unit Charity at any date throughout the year for just £99. Celebrate a special birthday, remember a loved one on an anniversary or mark it off on your bucket list, the date is up to you. Skydive Ireland host the highest possible skydive in the whole of Ireland at an altitude of 15,000ft allowing you to freefall downwards at 120mph before the parachute is deployed and you gently descend for a soft touchdown in front of friends and family.

Simply register via Skydive Ireland and pay your £99 commitment fee (non-refundable) and we will be in contact with a welcome email/phone call and your fundraising pack.  

Costs and Fundraising 

Registration is £99 and we ask each participant to raise a minimum of £500 which should be raised and submitted to us one week prior to your jump date to ensure you can continue to take part. Your jump costs a total of £250 and the remainder of your sponsorship fundraising will go towards supporting the work of The Children’s Cancer Unit Charity.

  • The weight limit is 95kg for those over 5ft5/166cm or 83kg for those under 5ft4/165cm. If individuals fall outside these parameters, their skydive will be postponed or cancelled.
