Leap For Lupus

[vskydiver 0]

August 14th 2005, Kapowsin Air Sports in conjunction with Blue Skies Skydiving Adventures Inc., located across the street from the Bremerton Airport in Bremerton, Washington, is hosting a "Leap for Lupus" event.

We will set the new Women's Northwest Record skydive on this day. Many years ago the record was set at 22 all women in a freefall formation. At that time we got on the local news with video of this dive and we are hoping to do this again and put awareness of Lupus out there at the same time. If you are a Northwest female jumper and want to get in on this dive, please contact Kapowsin or Blue Skies to get manifested ASAP.

We will have local food vendors out as well as face painting and inflatable bouncy to make this a family event. Bring your whole family out and watch the fun.

For those that don't jump they can make their first jump that day with a certified tandem instructor and a portion of your jump will go for a great cause.

The proceeds from this event will go to benefit The Lupus Foundation Of America, Pacific Northwest Chapter, for RESEARCH.

Although our main goal in this event is to create more awareness of this disease we will also be accepting contributions. We will also have T-shirts and hats with the Leap For Lupus logo on them for sale at the event. Pledge sheets can be obtained from Kapowsin Air Sports or Blue Skies. Or contact the Lupus Foundation Northwest Chapter. Please note all checks LEAP For LUPUS so that we can keep track of contributions.

KC, Dang that T-shirt looks so great on you! You are going to make everyone want to get one so they can look as good I think!

It was fun jumping up at Snohomish this weekend! You all have a great DZ way up there. Thanks for the fun and here's looking forward to next Sunday at the Leap For Lupus event!

COME ONE COME ALL! You don't want to miss this!

It was really a special event. Oh and the new Washington record was way cool. The whooping and hollerin in freefall and when we came down was great from all the people who showed up to support Valinda.

Let's hope this weather clears up!!!!! I am all ready to drive up from Portland tomorrow with my second cousin, Crystal. When I told her about the event she was immediately drawn towards making her first jump. You see, her mother passed about 10 years ago from Lupus.
I just started skydiving about a year ago and Crystal's thought I was crazy ever since. When I told her about this fundraiser, she thought it was sooo cool and said she did not want to miss it.
While at the LP Boogie last week I ran into a very nice fellow wearing a Leap for Lupus shirt and just had to inquire. I bought a handfull of raffle tickets and said 'see you there!"
Soooooo please join me in sending many Blue Sky wishes for tomorrow!
