22 Jumps: January 30th, 2022 at Camelback Mountain, Arizona
Parachuting with Purpose: Veterans BASE jump to raise funds for CVB’s TBI research.
UPDATE: Due to anticipated weather/wind conditions, this event has been rescheduled from January 29th to Sunday, January 30th.
Marine Veteran Tristan Wimmer and other Veterans are BASE jumping 22 times in a single day from Arizona’s Camelback Mountain on January 30th, 2022, seeking to raise more than $22,000 in honor of the 22 Veterans and service members who lose their battle to suicide each day.
Tristan has dedicated his time and efforts to 22 Jumps in honor of his brother who took his own life after sustaining a TBI in Iraq while serving in the United States Marine Corps. TBI is a major risk factor for suicide. 22 Jumps supports CVB’s research, with the goal of making TBI more detectable and treatable.
