“Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.” –Wayne Dyer
It’s December 1st, the day Nick was going to jump, until we decided to push it back a week. The forecast was for rain today, and at the moment it’s overcast but will likely clear.
We’re still happy with our decision to wait another week because it gives us more time to plan for the fundraising efforts we’d like to make during the event.
Basically, we want Nick’s first jump back to be an event COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF “FEET FOR FENER.”
Yes, the gathering will be because of Nick and his achievements, but we want the spirit of the day to be about helping other people.
If you plan to come watch Nick jump, please raid your pantry and bring some non-perishable food items to donate. The more the better! I just know you’ve got a can of beans or a box of rice you can stand to part with to help feed people who really need it this holiday season! Please bring a bare minimum of ONE item that day. The person who brings the most food items will get a prize, which may or may not be a giant hug!
We are also selling FENER shirts and stickers to raise money for the Project Walk Scholarship Fund! There are tons of people suffering from spinal cord injury who don’t have the support or funds to get specialized therapy at Project Walk. We are raising money to donate to the scholarship fund to help others who want to go to Project Walk but can’t afford it.
Because of our fundraising efforts, we have decided not to accept the kind offer of a group discount for tandem jumps, and instead take that $20 difference and donate it to Project Walk.
Tandem jumps are $209 and can be scheduled by calling 760-390-JUMP.
I happened to be in Perris on the day of the Feet for Fener fundraiser last year and bought a shirt and had no idea what it was about or really for, but I just wanted to help. After I left that night, I went home and found out more about his story and was inspired and have followed it ever since. I wish I could be there to attend the victorious jump in a week, but I live halfway across the country. I still wish to help or be a part of this amazing adventure, if there is any way I can, please let me know. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to read more about both of your achievements to come!

Hi Andrea, What a cool, random story, that you just happened to be at Perris the day of Feet for Fener. I’m impressed you’ve followed along with us this far. We appreciate your support. Thank you!
Other than making a small donation to the Project Walk Scholarship fund (which I’ll share the link later this week), I can’t think of any other way to help… other than share our story of course!
Anyway, you ROCK Andrea!
Lots of love

Hi LINDSAY! Hi FENER! I am so excited for this Saturday! I will be working and I am SOOOO bummed I cannot be there! BUT I am there in spirit (EVERYDAY!) and in the words of my nephew (NICK) and Fener in September 2009 (Jump For The Cause) “Dude, make me shit my pants” “Alright man, No Problem” MUAH!!!
