Freemason Pete Adams and his wife Sallyanne will leap from 15,000 feet as what’s believed to be the first-ever ‘Freemason and wife’ parachute jump duo to raise money for the Freemasons’ charity the MCF.

Eccles Lodge surges forward into second half-century
April 15, 2026Pete, the current Master of the Provincial Grand Stewards Lodge and Treasurer of Pharos Lodge in Scunthorpe said: “The MCF supports very many worthy causes, and we’re hoping to raise additional funds in support of this.
“We’re going to do a simultaneous tandem skydive from 15,000 feet, and we’re really looking forward to it – it’s something we’ve talked about but never actually done before. 100% of the skydive costs will be covered by us, so every single penny raised will go directly to the MCF. We hope fellow Freemasons will support this fundraising event; charitable donations will be certain help many people and support groups.
Sallyanne and I will jump out of an aircraft flying at 15,000 feet, hopefully attached to somebody who knows what they are doing (and also wearing a parachute). Gravity dictates that freefall is a given, and hopefully landing at less than 120mph can be arranged. If not, the Stewards’ Lodge will need to sort out a stand-in WM for September’s Installation meeting.”
The skydive is currently pencilled in for a date in August, subject to weather conditions. “And perhaps aviation fuel availability,” added Pete.
Pete has set up an MCF fundraising page here, where donation is very simply and all money goes directly to the MCF. It’s ring fenced there and its distribution will be controlled entirely within Lincolnshire.
