Hi Everyone,

It's that time of year again! This year will be my 11th tandem jump for Operation Freefall! On April 30, 2005, I'll be participating in the nation's boldest, highest-altitude and most daring effort to put an end to sexual assault.

By taking a two-mile-high stand against sexual assault, I'll be raising funds for Speaking Out About Rape (SOAR) and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) to help:

1. Maintain and expand the National Sexual Assault Hotline at (800) 656-HOPE (operated by RAINN) to ensure access to free, confidential counseling, 24/7. 2. Extend efforts to provide prevention and recovery information to tens of millions of people, including my own community, each year. 3. Expand programs to educate lawmakers, police officers, students, and the media about sexual assault. I hope you'll share in this incredible adventure by supporting me in my fundraising efforts. I've pledged to raise $5,000.00 before April 1st, and I need your help. Would you consider making a tax-deductible pledge to help me meet my goal? One in six women and one in 33 men will be sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. 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. Thank you in advance for your generosity. Blue Skies, Kellie
