JUMP 4 HEROES
We are very pleased to be able to help promote JUMP 4 HEROES.
This amazing initiative is being run by three serving soldiers who seem to love jumping off of tall structures or out of aircraft for charity.
The team consists of:
Dean 'Smudge' Smith, Spencer Hogg, Alistair Macartney and helping them to promote it all is Ruth Powell.
As serving members of the Army they felt it appropriate to support charities that help the Armed Forces. They aim to do this by both fund raising and increasing public awareness of the charities and their plight. Their aim is to do this by taking calculated risks and carrying out extreme projects, normally related to parachuting, canopy flight or BASE jumping. Earlier this year the team were featured in the National Press, flying the St George’s Flag. They have just BASE jumped from the Eiger in Switzerland and are currently in South Africa planning their next project.
You can find out more at their excellent website www.jump4heroes.com
Project65 honours the memory of the men who took part in the Coup de Main operation to capture the bridges on the Caen Canal and the River Ome in the early hours of D-Day 65 years ago.
