Extreme challenges

Ready for the thrill and exhilaration of taking part in one of our extreme challenges? Challenge yourself and join our fight against cancer by climbing a mountain, doing a triathlon or parachute jump, or creating your own extreme event.

Parachute jumps

The Irish Cancer Society has teamed up with the Irish Parachute Club (www.skydive.ie) based in Co. Offaly and Skydive Ireland (www.skydiveireland.ie) based in Nenagh, Co. Tipperary to offer you the experience of a lifetime with an adrenaline-filled parachute jump.

Your fundraising

• To jump with the Irish Parachute Club (Offaly) you’ll need to raise a minimum sponsorship of €520. Of this amount, €260 will be paid directly to the Irish Parachute Club. Please lodge the balance and any additional funds raised with the Irish Cancer Society at least 2 weeks prior to the date you wish to jump.
• To jump with Skydive Ireland (Tipperary) you’ll need to raise a minimum sponsorship of €500. You should give the total amount to Skydive Ireland and they take €250 to cover their costs and the rest goes to the Irish Cancer Society.

Contact us on 1850 60 60 60 or at fundraising@irishcancer.ie to specify whether you want to do your jump in Offaly or Tipperary, and we’ll send you your Skydive Application and Indemnity Form. When you return this form to us, we’ll send you your sponsorship cards, a fundraising guide and any further materials you may need.
