The reason I jump is two-fold. When I was an infant I went into respiratory distress and almost died. I was taken to River Hospital where Jeff Jackson, PA, and his team saved my life.
Growing up, I watched my mom participate for 5 years and was always interested in doing it when I got old enough. This will be my second year jumping. I now work for the hospital in the Post-Traumatic Stress Services suite as a therapist. I absolutely love my job and being able to work for the hospital serving first responders and members of our military.
