Amy's story
Amy was diagnosed with epilepsy nearly 12 years ago and took part in a charity skydive, raising over £800!:
“I’ve wanted to do a skydive for a very, very long time and when I found out I could do this through the charity it made perfect sense. Through fundraising at work and with friends and family I managed to raise over £800, the generosity of people around me was unbelievable. The skydive was absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to anybody. For mine I travelled to Cornwall which gives beautiful views of both land and sea! Good luck with your jump”
Skydiving and epilepsy
Taking part in a tandem skydive is possible for many people with epilepsy.
The British Parachute Association says you can take part in a tandem skydive (where you are attached to a professional) if:
- You have been seizure free for the last two years, and
- You have not had any changes to your medicine in this period
You will need to get your doctor to sign a medical certificate. Solo skydiving is not considered safe for people with epilepsy.
