THIS IS KEVIN BURKART'S FINAL TRIBUTE:
THE 300 PERFECT JUMPS FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE

300 Perfect Jumps Announcement

On March 10 Kevin Burkart was seriously injured in a snowmobile accident on the Canadian border in northern Minnesota.  He broke numerous bones including 4 vertebrae and suffered serious nerve damage in his left arm.

Kevin expects  to make a full recovery and is postponing The 300 Perfect Jumps for Parkinson's Disease for one year.  He was excited to suggest that this simply allows him more time to raise additional funds and awareness for Parkinson's disease for this final tribute to his father who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1999.

The new date is Wednesday, June 19, 2013. The event will again be held at Skydive Twin Cities in Baldwin, Wisconsin.

And we're still having the Perfect Jumps Beach Party and water training for skydivers at Kevin's home on Prior Lake on Monday, July 16, 2012  starting at 2 PM. Please join us at 14624 Oakland Beach Ave SE Prior Lake, MN 55372.  All you need to bring is a swimsuit!  We provide the boats, the beach, the music, and the food and beverages!

Kevin would like to extend his gratitude towards all those that have provided exceptional support during this difficult time. The future is bright because of all of you.

On June 4, 2008, the stage was set as Kevin Burkart performed 100 skydives in one day and raised over $48,000 for Parkinson’s Disease. The pace was one jump every 4 minutes 56 seconds.

On June 16, 2010, Kevin returned to the skies, determined to set the bar even higher at 200 skydives in 24 hours. Weather was inclement as thick fog hampered the effort. Undeterred, Kevin tightened his schedule and was able to perfect 150 jumps with each jump going down every 3 minutes and 18 seconds. With this effort, Kevin raised awareness and over $68,000 for the fight against Parkinson’s Disease.

In 2013 Kevin will once again take flight on Wednesday, June 19, he will attempt to achieve an incredible 300 skydives in one day and complete the work that began 3 years ago.

This is the final tribute. This is the 300 Perfect Jumps for Parkinson’s Disease.
