From Kat Busby Hicks
“Each time we do this, we are so inspired by the women who come – these women of courage, resourcefulness, determination and a willingness to try something different. Those who’ve persevered despite injuries, or had a long break from skydiving or come not really knowing anyone or those who came and jumped and made great progress. Those who shared their knowledge and those who felt comfortable asking questions. All of you make the event such a success and it is humbling to hear how much you gained from it, how much you enjoyed it and found out how bloody great it is for women to have a bit of time together. We’ve got you, sisters!
Here’s to next year and the rise of the Tilly Cartel – plans are afoot!”
