Daredevils in Lichfield and Burntwood are being invited to take on a wing-walking fundraising challenge.

Wing walk

St Giles Hospice has teamed up with events company Life Changing Challenges to offer the chance to take to the skies.

Everyone who takes part will try a wing walk at a private airfield in Cirencester, with full training and a safety briefing, flying overalls provided and support from the hospice fundraising team.

Elinor Eustace, income generation director at the Whittington hospice, said:

“Our fundraisers have told us that they love these adrenaline-fuelled experiences and we’re absolutely thrilled to be able to offer people the chance to enjoy one of these amazing flights.

“We’re looking for over-18s who want to test their nerve by trying a different kind of charity challenge – taking their bravery to new heights as they raise the funds we need to support patients living with a terminal illness and their families.”

Anyone interested in taking part in a wing-walking challenge can sign up for a flight on weekdays between March and October and selected Saturdays between April and September. The event is COVID-secure.

There is a registration fee of £50 and fundraisers must pledge to raise a minimum sponsorship of £800.
