Flying for the blind or Breast cancer, or both

[YahooLV 0]

Why not get involved in both this year. I'm a guy, so I can't jump in the "Jump for the Cause", this year. This year we skydivers have the opportunity to do some good things. Raise money for breast cancer awareness and this:

Dear Friends and Family,

As all of you know, I am a skydiver. I am honored to
participate in a repeat of a special and worthwhile
event that a group of us did almost two years ago. On Saturday, January 29th Perris Valley Skydiving
Presents “Blue Skies for Future Eyes! 2” A fund raiser
to benefit the American Council of the Blind (ACB).
You will find more information about ACB below. At the last event we raised over $7,000 in donations. This time we are attempting to top $10,000.

This will be a unique jump featuring John Fleming,
Perris’ only blind skydiver. He is one of only a few
blind skydivers in the world. He had logged over a
thousand skydives previous to a degenerative eye
disease taking his sight and has made over five
hundred jumps since with the aid of radios.

We will build a twenty person formation around John
in the sky. The formation will be in the shape of a
human eye and video will once again be made available to the media. Three stations in Los Angeles aired footage of our last jump bringing even more much needed attention and donations to ACB. We could all use a few 'feel good' stories right about now, right?

Each of us (the twenty formation jumpers and two
camera jumpers) will be required to collect a minimum of $250 in donations to participate.

I know that all of us get asked to give to something
or somebody nearly everyday whether it's requested by mail, phone, or by the poor wretch on the freeway
off-ramp with his hand out. So, --NO PRESSURE HERE!--
If you think this is a worthy endeavor and would like
to donate, any amount you can give to the cause will
be greatly appreciated.

Checks should be made out to: American Council of
the Blind. To make your canceled check a legal tax
receipt, write Charitable Donation in the memo
section. If you are sending a cash donation (checks
are preferred) and need a receipt for tax purposes,
one will be made available. If you would like to help, PM me and I’ll send along my address.

For more information you can contact Mike at: Ph.

you for your consideration in this matter.

Most Gratefully,
Curt Frye
