I talked to Derek Sunday. He's been a busy boy for Fund Raising and Awareness. Any of us that live near Barrie Ont should make an effort to come out and watch him or donate.


Hi Al,

Great to chat last Sunday and sounds like we both have a lot to be thankful for given date(s) of diagnosis.........

My event is called "Jumping for PALS" and is a tandem skydive on Saturday, August 22nd.

My own website is:

www.waltoncure4als.ca Pledge on-line Page 4.

My event website is:

www.sunnybrookfoundation.ca EVENTS: Jumping for PALS.

Pledge Sheet on this page also.......

Please let me know what you think. Can you share my event on ALS forums?

Cheers and stay well, brother.

i think is very smart it sounds like a great way for a fundraiser
 
Someone raised the point on another thread about research into the cause of ALS. I believe Sunnybrook is involved with that.

AL.
 
Great idea

I still have trouble with leaving a perfectly good airplane, now if it was about to crash Geronimo I'm jumping.
 
Looks like I'll have someone to take me out to see Derek jump. Hope to see some other Toronto, Barrie folks there. Jump is at 3pm.

AL.
 
have fun and enjoy
 
Derek made the jump from 12,500 ft and raised $100,000 for ALS research.

That is FANTASTIC!
 
way to go great job
 
That is so awesome.
 
Wow , please thank Derek for me.

At what altitude is it considered a HALO jump ?
