12 in 24...Skydiving for Myelin

Friday I joined a team of skydivers from Tampa bay, FL for my first tandem jump from 14,500 ft! They were jumping for the Myelin Project and to raise awareness for what the organization supports while jumping from 12 different drops in 24 hrs across the state of FL. When we finished around 1230am on Saturday, they had been up since 4am Friday and were able to complete 10 jumps. Despite coming up short, the feat was nonetheless impressive and I was so pumped to be a part of their efforts and to accomplish my goal to jump. Thank you to the whole 12 in 24 and Myelin Project crew for making it a memorable 24 hrs!!

IM ABLE Foundation

New to the Corps Fitness and Got the Nerve? scene is the IM ABLE Foundation. This endeavor aims to help disabled children become more active by exposing them to fitness equipment such as handcycles that they can operate regardless of their limitations. In addition the foundation wants to create more understanding and acceptance from able-bodied children so they feel more comfortable dealing with their disabled counterparts. Showing able bodied children that disabled children can be as active as them will help the bond between the two groups. We will be holding demonstrations with the newly purchased hand cycles and will be showcasing the abilities of all the kids at our November 17th Inaugural Gala Kickoff. If you are interested in getting your disabled or able bodied child on a handcycle or would like to join us at the Gala please email Chris at chris@gotthenerve.org.
