Doug Bellamy takes the leap for charity – fourth time lucky !

After three weather-related cancellations, Doug Bellamy, COO of Mayday Group Limited, finally soared through the skies on his fourth attempt – completing a breath-taking skydive from 15,000 feet in support of YMCA DownsLink Group.

A nervous Doug spoke to Mark prior to the jump saying: “I’m relieved that it is going ahead, but am absolutely terrified! It’s a great feeling to give back and raise money for YMCA DownsLink Group.”

Following the skydive, Doug said: “It was absolutely worth the wait. The adrenaline, the view, and knowing it was all for a great cause made it unforgettable.”

Doug’s determination paid off as he took the plunge in perfect conditions, freefalling at over 120mph before safely landing with a huge smile and an even bigger sense of accomplishment. His courage and persistence have not only inspired many but also raised an incredible £1,000 for YMCA DownsLink Group, helping to support young people across the region.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported Doug’s daring feat. Your generosity is making a real difference!
