Friends and family who are fundraising for their friend David Hartsock hope to raise $50,000 on GiveForward to cover his medical costs.  You may have heard about David Hartsock, who in my opinion, is the most courageous skydiver ever and a true hero.

Almost a year ago, David went on a tandem skydive jump with a student.  Their parachutes malfunctioned as they were plummeting towards the earth.  David manipulated their positioning mid-fall so that when they landed, David would cushion his students fall so she could live.  The student lived, as did David, but he is now paralyzed.  He requires constant care and the fundraiser seeks to cover the costs of some of that care.  

The outpouring of support for David has been incredible: the amount of money raised, (in just under a month!) totals over $26,000!
