Parachute jumping
Set your sights sky high and do a parachute jump! And when you're falling fast towards the ground, just keep repeating 'It's for the kids. It's for the kids'. Obviously, don't forget to pull your ripcord.
Free falling
Raising money for Barnardo's and knowing you're helping vulnerable children all around the UK is bound to give you a warm glow inside. But if you're the kind of person who craves a little more, how about a 120mph drop from an aeroplane a mile up in the clouds to really prove you care?
Parachute jumping is one of the ultimate adrenaline rushes, and - after you've pulled the ripcord, and shot up a bit, the tranquil descent back to earth is a breathtaking experience.
There are 25 approved centres around the UK that will allow you to take this extraordinary challenge, and a whole range of dates to choose from. All you have to do is take that small step and enjoy that fun falling feeling.

Quick fact: The highest parachute jump was successfully completed by Captain Kittinger of the US Air Force. He jumped at 102,800 ft, the very edge of space, and his drop included a free fall of more than 4 minutes 30 seconds, when he reached 714mph. He finally opened his parachute at 18,000 feet.
Useful tip: You’ll be given all the training you need. After all, the more you know about any sport the more you’ll enjoy the experience.
