Hi! I’m Lara, a pretty normal, almost-40-year old small business owner who lives in DeLand, Florida and likes to do pretty abnormal things. I’ve skydived in ten states, run 1/2 marathons in nine and lived in seven. My next adventure is learning to paramotor so I can fly from Montana to Las Vegas this fall.

That’s me! I had just landed from my first long-distance paramotor flight with my instructors from Aviator PPG. It was AWESOME and all I wanted was more.

That’s where you come in. I can’t do this on my own; I need your help to get airborne. There is all kinds of cool stuff to buy in my SHOP, you can donate via PayPal or sponsor a part of what is kinda sorta our honeymoon!

And we’ll be raising money for a great cause at the same time! 10% of all proceeds will go to the Halifax Health-Hospice BeginAgain Children’s Grief Center, a group I volunteer with. Once I hit my fundraising goal, 100% of everything raised will go directly to the center!

What

Icarus Trophy, a 2-week, 1,000-mile powered-paragliding race.

Where

From Glacier National Park, Montana, to Las Vegas, Nevada.

When

Sep. 24-Oct. 4, 2017

Why

To raise awareness & money for Volusia and Flagler County’s only children’s grief program, the Halifax Health-Hospice BeginAgain Children’s Grief Center, offered to families at no cost. And to do something dumb and reckless and fun.
