MS Jumpathon, Skydive Nagambie

Last year one of our own at Skydive Nagambie, Emma Pearce (packer extraordinaire) was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) MS is an autoimmune disease which has no cure. As friends of someone living with MS there is nothing we can do as such to help with the MS but we can donate to the MS research society to help find a cure. Obviously we can do this at anytime through the foundation but what we are doing at Nagambie is running a not for profit Tandem day to be held on February 17th 2012.
