We all had successful jumps. My second cousin also jumped for Polio.
Thank you al for your generous support to Eradicate Polio.
I have shared my video with everyone that I know of, Rotarians and non rotarians alike.

Had a great time while supporting a great organization, thanks to all who donated!

My jump was postponed because of weather. I will be jumping next Saturday, July 2, at 3 PM. Thank you everyone who has donated. I and Rotary really do appreciate it!

Hey Family & Friends, just to let you know that we have raised $2,165 dollars so far for Jump4Polio!!! Great Job, and Thank You for your support. I can continue to collect money until the end of the month, so if you hear of someone that would like to donate, they still have time. Who knows maybe we can reach $2,500 dollars. This is awesome.

Thanks to all of you who have already given to help me meet my goal of $1,500.00 for Jump! 4 Polio. Just a few days left, so I trust we'll get over that hump as we know a few more donations are on their way in. We've had cash donations and checks as well which I will turn in on Jump Day. It's exciting to think that we could end this journey of over 40 years to end a disease which effected so many lives of friends of mine over the years. I thank my parents for trusting the science, taking that leap of faith to get me immunized way back in the day so that I could be here now to take my own leap, or "Jump!" of faith and put a final nail in Polio's coffin!

Today, June 22, is my daughter's birthday so I am going to celebrate by doing District 6290 Jump!4Polio'22 in her and my family's honor!

Thanks to Brad, McKeena, Scott, Stephanie, my donor who wishes to remain anonymous, and Gordon who wrote a check. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by people who put service above self! ❤

I am looking forward to participating and raising funds for the JUMP FOR POLIO EVENT in Grand Haven Michigan on Jun 25 2022... Please consider donating whatever you are comfortable with... Remember every dollar counts.

I'm really excited to be raising money for this cause. Help me reach my goal!

Thank you so much for contributing to my fundraiser to help Rotary's efforts to eradicate polio. We are so close and every donation $5, $10 or $25 makes a difference! Thank you!!

Thank you all for supporting our Rotary campaign. This is my first attempt jumping out of an airplane at about 10,000 feet over Grand Haven, Michigan. I will be jumping with 42 to 50 Rotarians from our district. Since 1985, Rotary International has contributed more than $1.5 billion and countless volunteer hours to immunize children against the disease. In that time, the number of polio cases has dropped 99.9 percent, and only three countries remain where the virus has never been stopped: Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. While World Polio Day, 24 October, serves as an important opportunity to remind the world of the need to finish the job, raising money and awareness is a year-round effort for many.

Many thanks to Ginny, Ernie, and Brad for getting me 25% of the way there and for being committed to the important causes of global health that Rotary seeks to promote!

Here is an example of an actual skydive:

Thaks you to my neighbor Rita and brother Scott! Yes. There will be a parachute!

Dear Friends,
This Jump will be my second Sky Dive for Polio Fund raising event. I thank you for your past support and hope for the continuation for this time and the future.
Let's finish the polio from the world together.

Big Thank You to Laurie and Sally from myself and Rotary, too!

As a joint member of Toastmasters International and Montague Whitehall Rotary, I challenged my Toastmates to register for our annual conference. They took the challenge so I am taking a flying leap for an excellent cause. This is for Karen, also.

Let’s go team Ludington

Jump!4Polio
On June 25, I will be jumping from a plane to raise funds for the Rotary Polio Fund. I have been a big fan of Rotary and all the good they do worldwide. Help me reach my goal by donating!

Thank you to the donors thus far (Brad and Brenda) - and a thanks coming to Phil King of our club who has pledged $200 towards my goal. That puts us 40% of the way there !

Since Joining Rotary in 1989 eradicating Polio has been my passion. I would truly like to see it eradicated throughout the world in my lifetime. I a a member of the Polio Plus Society donating at least $100 s year to the cause. I travelled to India and assisted with a National Immunization Day distribution of the Polio Vaccine to the children there. I am now going to parachute from a plane to help raise funds for the cause. Please help me by making a donation. Thank you for your support.

I've volunteered as the jumper for our Spring Lake Rotary Jump4Polio - a Rotary fundraiser where I'll jump out of a perfectly good plane in order to bribe people into donating money to aid in Rotary's mission to eradicate Polio. If you'd like to help with that, or just to make sure that I have every reason to suffer and scream on the way down, please don't hesitate to donate!! Thank you!

I've been told to "go jump in a lake." (Did that. Lake Michigan is cold!). I've been told to "take a hike." (Machu Picchu is a lovely hike!). Now I need to see if the "sky is the limit." Support my Jump4Polio effort!
