Imagine jumping from up to 13,500ft over 2 miles high above the beautiful Wiltshire Countryside. It really is the leap of a lifetime.
Kate decided to take on the Skydive Challenge as she wanted to do something outside of her comfort zone. This is what she said about the experience:
“What an unforgettable and unbeatable moment! I am so glad I took on this challenge and pushed out of my comfort zone as it resulted in the most amazing experience. I really want to do it again!”
