St. Andrews Skydive

Wednesday, April 4th, 2012

Jacqui Strachan completed her Tandem Skydive on 31st March – see her story below!  Well done, Jacqui, and many thanks for your support of The Moira Fund.

“Well it isn’t everyday that you jump from a plane at 10,000 feet and fall to the earth at a speed of 120 miles per hour…….I have to say the free fall was pretty awesome!  The staff at Skydive St Andrews were extremely experienced and very professional, they had me at ease in no time…….after a 45 minute training session I was good to go!  Weather conditions were perfect for the 10,000 ft climb and the Skydive……I was certainly feeling a bit nervous as the door was opened and I eased my way forward for the jump…….a lesson certainly learned for the next time……don’t ever look down!!  Lol.  The jump was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every minute……it certainly was an experience of a lifetime, one that will stay with me for a very long time!  Sadly I only had the opportunity to meet Moira once…..it was an honour to do this for such a great cause and in her memory…….it was a perfect day!
