Techspan supports Jump Start Charity event

Techspan have supported this unique event for teenagers from CanTeen & Project K since the events inception in 2007. Techspan Director Tim Fastnedge, and event organizer, will lose his hair in this coming weekend (20th March 2011) in support of the Jump Start program.

Jump Start consists of a Tandem Skydive for 50 selected teenagers from CanTeen & Project K, from the ramp of the mighty C130 Hercules. The RNZAF supply the C130 as 'jump-ship' for the event. "I've never been a fan of short hair" explains Tim, "but I will lose it ALL for charity".  A few others are also intending on doing the same, all in favour of the cause.

To support Tim and the Jump Start event, donations will be greatfully received.
