200 Perfect Jumps. One Day.

You guys might remember Kevin Burkart from two years ago, when he put on an event called a 100 Perfect Jumps.  He did this in order to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s disease, which his father Gary Burkart suffers from.

This year, Kevin is upping it a bit, and going for 200 jumps in a 24 hr period.  This is taking place at Skydive Twin Cities, in Baldwin, Wi as we speak.  Kevin’s goal is to raise $60,000 – and if you would like to help, you can make donations or buy some swag through their website.

Right now morning fog is keeping them grounded, so everyone please send some fog-lifting-thoughts Kevin’s way, so he can get started.

Best of luck Kevin – we’ll be watching for updates through the day via Twitter (@PerfectJumps)!

Extreme Curry Eating

Jump 4 Heroes

Jump4Heroes are just back from BASE jumping in Switzerland. Supporting The Soldiers’ Charity they did some proximity flying and some extreme curry eating. Similar to the extreme ironing board concept where people take an ironing board to all kind of weird and extreme places, the gauntlet has been laid down for extreme curry eating.  The Charity is looking for people to do better so, if you think you’re up for the challenge, then send them your pictures or video.

See the TV interview below and a short edit of the jumps below that.

200 Perfect Jumps

On June 16, Kevin Burkart will attempt 200 jumps in 24 hours to raise money and awareness for Parkinson’s Disease research. The project is 200 Perfect Jumps and there are three excellent reasons to donate: 1) be a good person, 2) Mirage container and 3) PD canopy.

Mirage Systems is donating a complete container (a $2,800 value!) to be auctioned off. Bidding closes March 31 and proceeds will benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. If you win the auction, you get a 100% free Mirage Systems complete container with 100% options, all for free! Mirage Systems has committed to manufacturing the container within 8 weeks, so you’ll have it in time to jump at the Perfect Jumps event on June 16! Bids should be submitted to kevin@stepstonegroup.com.

In addition, Performance Designs has donated a canopy (excluding cross-braced models) to be raffled off. Kevin is selling 100 $100 “chance tickets.” Contact Kevin, Nick Grillet at PD or possibly someone in your area for one of these coveted tickets.

Good luck Kevin, and the future winners of that rig and canopy!
