Let's all buy this guy at least one skydive, a donation of the cost of a lift ticket or few. Use the cost of lift tickets at your home DZ and make a difference for a fellow skydiver in need.

If you choose to make a donation you will have control of what others will see. You will have options of anonymous amount, anonymous name and comments if you wish. If you leave comments, mention you are a skydiver and/or mention DZ.com so he will know his skydiving friends are there.

If you have already donated, Thank You very much.


Thank you for your time. Be safe, have fun..

Just think, if everyone who has view this thread and associated story were to give just $5.00, it would come to roughly $4000.00. If everyone were to give more or just the cost of one lift ticket. The possibilities.

I hope everybody has at least given a thought to donating, he will benefit directly and that will certainly help. I have a link in my sig line to The Travis Roy Foundation, this foundation is where you can donate toward Spinal Cord Injury research. The more research that is able to be done the closer we will be to finding a way to more effectively treat and maybe someday even cure there SCI patients.

Best Wishes to Mr. Hartsock

Travis Roy Foundation. At very least its a tax write off
