Pelham Police Officer to Make Fundraising Skydive

Birmingham, AL - Who would jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Pelham Police Officer Dustin Chandler thinks it's a good idea that will fundraise for a good cause. He's doing it to raise awareness for CDKL5, a rare genetic disorder that can cause as many as 10 seizures a day in children. According to the International Foundation for CDKL5 Research, many children with CDKL5 cannot walk, talk or feed themselves, and there is currently no cure. Chandler will make the 14,000-foot jump during the second annual Skydive for CDKL5 fundraising event. It will be held at Skydive Alabama in Cullman. Chandler said, "I wanted to bring maximum awareness to CDKL5, and I was trying to think of something no one had done before."  www.fundraising-ideas.org
