We will give you a custom ALYN T-shirt.  Other than that, wear loose fitting clothing and shoes with closed toes (no sandals). Women should not wear short skirts. Leave all your valuables on the ground. You cannot take a phone or camera, but there are many options to photograph and video your jump.

Before the jump, there is a mandatory instruction meeting. Afterwards, the instructors will fit you with a flight suit and headgear. You can ask them any questions of express and concerns, they have heard it all.

You will be doing a tandem jump, which means you jump while attached to a highly experienced professional guide for the entire duration of your jump. All you need to do is take that first step. After about 45 seconds of free fall, the instructor pulls the cord and you spend the next few minutes slowly gliding back down to the ground.

The 750 NIS registration fee covers all the costs of sky-diving (400 NIS off the regular price!) The minimum $1,000/3,300 NIS in donations that every jumper raises goes directly to helping the children of ALYN.

ALYN Hospital / ALYN Woldenberg Family Hospital is Israel’s only pediatric and adolescent rehabilitation facility. ALYN treats children with a wide range of congenital and acquired conditions, including cerebral palsy, neuromuscular diseases, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, burns, terror and motor vehicle accident victims. We are proud of our reputation at ALYN as a leading hospital worldwide in the field of Pediatric Rehabilitation.

ALYN is a nonprofit facility, and only a portion of  each child’s care is reimbursed by the health funds or other referring agencies. This reimbursement is insufficient to cover the actual cost of the unique and comprehensive treatment that every child receives. It is for this reason that the hospital must depend on donations.  The funds raised by the jump and other special projects cover nearly half of the Hospital’s operating budget deficit.
