It\u2019s no secret that I love skydiving…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For so many years, I would happily trot out thousands of jumps and thousands of air miles in the pursuit of happiness through skydiving and world travel. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, I would like to continue jumping and traveling for as long as possible but I would also like to find a way to do this that doesn\u2019t have such a negative impact on our environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At the start of lockdown, these thoughts were making their way through my head but with no engineering or real academic skills to my name I struggled to find any concrete way to help, so I started to look at what initiatives were already in place, with a view to sharing them within the skydiving community, in the hope that someone somewhere would be willing to take the steps to make these dreams a reality. In order to share the news I approached The Care All Foundation<\/a> and asked if they would give me blog space, as they have altruistic goals and also love skydiving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
