Ashley, Nancy D. (Birthday Girl), and Nancy #2
A few friends decided to pump up their blood pressure by going out to Lake Elsinore, CA, and jump out of a moving airplane for kicks. They were actually out there celebrating Nancy D.’s Birthday. Nancy has been a very dedicated and “hardcore” Team Matthew volunteer, attending almost every drive we had in Southern California. When she’s committed to something, it’s hard to pull her away - so it was only fitting that when she committed to jumping out of a plane, that’s exactly what she did! Two of Nancy’s friends, Ashley and Nancy, joined the birthday girl on this crazy feat. I would have loved to join them — maybe next year??? 
Happy belated birthday and congrats to Nancy on accomplishing one of the things on her bucket list. And, way to represent TM!!
Is she giving her last kiss good-bye? j/k she landed safely on the ground.
Yeah I feel good!!
