THIS IS KEVIN BURKART'S FINAL TRIBUTE:
THE 300 PERFECT JUMPS FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE
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 2012 Kevin will once again take flight on Tuesday, 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.
