Dive for Derek

Skydiving for a Cure

When the 60 year-old resident of Ringwood, NJ, learned that his 13-year-old grandson was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, he decided to help find a cure by fundraising in this unconventional way.

On that unusual morning, approximately 45 friends and family gathered at New Jersey’s Sussex County Airport to support Tom both emotionally and with donations in Derek’s name to the NephCure Foundation.

The plane departed just after 10 a.m. and, minutes later, the crowd cheered as Tom jumped out of the plane, securely fastened to the instructor. Everyone watched as he safely glided back down to the ground.

Mountains of hoagies and refreshments were offered to friends and family before, during and after the jump. Guests also took part in a raffle with the hopes of winning one of the fabulous prizes being given away.

An enormous THANK YOU goes to all those who contributed food and refreshments including:

Whimpies for donating 1 3ft hoagie
Geppetto’s for donating 1 3ft hoagie
Luigis for donating 3 hoagies
Reservoir Deli for donating 3 hoagies
Dunkin’ Donuts for donating 4 dozen doughnuts

Another giant THANK YOU goes to all the organizations and people that donated prizes for the raffle including:

Croda Inc for donating 4 Yankee tickets valued at $300
The NY Giants for donating an autographed poster of Eli Manning
The NY Devils for donating an autographed puck
Debbie Rowett for donating a wine gift basket valued at $100
Platex for donating a banana gift basket
Corrato’s Market for donating a fruit basket valued at $50
Shop Rite of Oakland for donating gift cards
Stop and Shop of Ringwood, NJ for donating gift cards
R&R Restaurant for donating gift cards

A final THANK YOU goes to all those who have supported Tom Mills, Derek and their family.
