My personal message:

In the past year I have been volunteering at Susquehanna Valley Women in Transition (SVWIT) as a legal advocate through the AmeriCorps program. It has been an amazing year I have been incredibly impressed with the strength dedication and humor of the staff of SVWIT and the people we serve.

As my year at SVWIT reaches the half way mark, I wanted to do something big, something to show our clients and staff how much I appreciate them. So, April being Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I decided to jump out of an airplane to raise money and awareness about sexual assault.

On April 29, 2006, I'll be participating in Operation Freefall: The Two-Mile High Stand Against Sexual Assault. I'll be joining thousands of people at skydive centers across the country who will take to the sky and jump, to raise awareness and money for sexual assault.

By participating in Operation Freefall, I'll be raising funds for Speaking Out About Rape (SOAR) and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). If you would like to donate directly to Susquehanna Valley Women in Transition, the center where I work, you can call 570-523-6482, or send donations to: PO Box 170 Lewisburg, PA 17837.

I've agreed to raise $2500.00 before April 20th, and I need your help. Would you consider making a tax-deductible pledge to help me meet my goal? I'll be skydiving from at least 10,500 feet.

How much will you pledge for each foot jumped?
* 1/4-cent per foot: $26.40
* 1/2-cent per foot: $52.80
* A penny per foot: $105.60
* Two cents per foot: $211.20
* A nickel per foot: $528
* A dime per foot: $1,056
* A quarter per foot: $2,640
* A dollar per foot: $10,560

The FBI categorizes rape as the second most violent crime a person can experience, second only to murder. To put it another way, it's the most violent and traumatic crime any victim lives to remember. Every two minutes, another American is sexually assaulted. It is the most under-reported of all crimes in the United States. The effects of sexual violence affect all of us. That is why I've committed myself to this event. I hope you'll share in this incredible adventure by supporting me in my fundraising efforts. Of course, if you want to jump, too, let me know and I'll get you registration materials.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support! Wish me luck!
