Here is the Official Jump Start 2011 Video.
The premise of Jump Start is that the experience of being alive transforms.
The elements are:
Facing fear: Discovering inner strength
Placing trust in others: Finding mutual support and team identity
Elation: Skydiving is an intense experience of being alive
Confidence: Gained from accomplishing the goal
Acknowledgement: Applause as they receive a certificate of accomplishment
Belonging: Being part of a group of first-time jumpers
JUMP START is a charity event which asks skydivers to help raise money to sponsor a teenager from CanTeen or Project K.
The skydive Tandem Masters, Camera flyers and the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) , all donate their time and resources to this event. RNZAF 40 Squadron supply a C130 Hercules aircraft and the PTSU (Parachute Training & Support Unit)
Brilliant guys. Well done.
