Derek Walton is skydiving to raise money for research

After brainstorming a bunch of ideas to help raise funds, Derek Walton has decided skydiving is the way to go.
His Jump for PALS (People with ALS) will take place on Aug. 22 at Skydive Toronto in Innisfil.

"The skydive is for two purposes. One, to raise awareness for ALS and two, to raise funds for research through my own foundation at Sunnybrook Hospital, which is the closest ALS Clinic."
