100 Jumps in one day

Joe Frolick will skydive 100 times in one day for charity

You might remember I posted about two Brits who are skydiving for charity, well apparently there is another firefighter State-side who will be doing the same thing…100 times in one day. To be exact, the first jump is at 0730 hours and the last one is at 1900 hours.

Joe Frolick, a Wayne Township Firefighter in Indianapolis, will be making the jumps for charity. You can read more about it here.  Joe’s first jump will begin the 1st Annual Midwestern Smoke Symposium for Cyanide Poisoning Treatment Coalition. His last jump will culminate the one day event.

Let me do the math for you.

Joe will have 11.5 hours to complete the 100 jumps. 11.5 hours is 690 minutes. Joe will have 6.9 minutes to complete each jump. I couldn’t find any other details on how he will complete each jump, how high he will jump, or what his transportation will be for each jump. I must say that one jump every 7 minutes for 11.5 hours seems like a logistical nightmare.

Good luck Joe and be safe. Great job for a great cause.

Skydive for Charity

Next month, Arron Dalby and Dave Oliver will be jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet to raise money for men’s cancer charity Orchid.

I don’t know about you but I can only think of a couple better reasons to jump out of a perfectly good plane other than raising money for charity, like trying to show off for Megan Fox (of  Transformers fame).

The duo, Oliver a Paramedic and Dalby an Emergency Care Assistant, work for the Great Western Ambulance Service (GWAS) in Swindon, Wiltshire. They are over halfway to their goal of £1,000. In case you were wondering that is about $1,656.00 in U.S. currency.

Great job guys, keep up the great work!
