Skydive For Life

Skydive For Life. What is it, eh?

Let’s just say that my former co-worker Elvin Uy has always wanted to try skydiving but would not have enough courage to skydive just for the sake of. So let’s put some cause into his dream adventure. We’ll give him enough ego boost but on the way down, we’ll be able to help him help a cancer patient via Cancer Warriors Foundation.

Elvin will be jumping from 9,000 ft up in the sky in Queenstown, New Zealand on December 9. The goal is to raise P10 for every foot of altitude. So that’s P90,000 in total — enough to cover monthly medical supplies during chemotherapy, laboratory procedures, blood transfusions, bone marrow aspirations and tests, and antibiotics for a young cancer patient for 18 months. That’s something.

Note that all funds raised — P90,000 in its entirety — will go to Cancer Warriors Foundation. Elvin will be paying for his travel to New Zealand and the skydiving fee. It will not be slashed off the collected funds.

So there. Let’s help. Read on to find out how.
