Skydive for Seals: The Cornish Seal Sanctuary Launches Thrilling Fundraising Challenge

In a bid to support marine life conservation, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary has unveiled an exhilarating new fundraising initiative for 2024. Partnering with the Cornish Parachute Club in St Agnes, Cornwall, the sanctuary is offering an exclusive opportunity for its supporters to participate in a parachute jump on Saturday, 11th May 2024. This unique event not only promises an adrenaline-pumping experience but also serves a noble cause.

Participants in the event will experience the thrill of free-falling from 5,000 feet at speeds of up to 120mph before their parachutes open, allowing them to gracefully glide over North Cornwall’s stunning coastline. This heart-stopping moment is more than just an adventure; it’s a gesture of support for the sanctuary’s efforts in marine conservation.

The funds raised from this daring challenge will contribute to the sanctuary’s ‘Fund Our Future’ campaign, specifically aimed at constructing new seal pools on-site. These facilities are crucial for the rehabilitation and care of rescued seals, enhancing their recovery process and ensuring a better quality of life during their stay at the sanctuary.

Adding to the excitement, TV presenter, stuntman, underwater explorer, and skydiver Andy Torbet, who also serves as the SEALIFE TRUST Cornish Seal Sanctuary Ambassador, will be joining the event as a special guest. His participation underscores the significance of the event and the cause it supports, encouraging more people to take the leap and contribute to marine conservation in an unforgettable way.

The Cornish Seal Sanctuary’s skydiving event represents a novel approach to fundraising, blending the thrill of adventure sports with the mission of wildlife preservation. It offers participants a unique way to show their support for the sanctuary while experiencing the unparalleled beauty of North Cornwall from the sky.

For those interested in joining this once-in-a-lifetime experience and helping to fund the future of marine conservation, further details are available on the Seal Sanctuary’s website.
