Adam Ellmers - Drop Your Boss 2021

At the Graeme Dingle Foundation they believe "what you have on the inside is greater than any obstacle you may face". In the spirit of that ethos, I am making the leap, 12,000 feet out of a plane, to help raise money towards the incredible work the foundation does here in our own community.

The Graeme Dingle Foundation Western Bay of Plenty runs Project K, Kiwi Can, Career Navigator and Stars; reaching over 3,700 young people in the local community. These are all proven and successful school-based programmes that aim to inspire young people to reach their full potential by helping to build their self-esteem, promote good values and teach valuable life, education and health skills.

The Graeme Dingle Foundation is an incredible organisation, offering our young people some amazing opportunities to become the best version of themselves. I am jumping so I can demonstrate to our tamariki and rangatahi that you can overcome any fear and achieve your goals with the right support and mind-set. All the funds I raise through my efforts go directly to the foundation to help them continue their mahi.

As a father of two, preparing my kids for the challenges they face as they grow up is a scary proposition. I’m fortunate to have a strong network to help with that but I know there are many others that don’t; the Graeme Dingle Foundation provide amazing support to some of our most vulnerable youth and I’m keen to support that however I can... Jumping from a plane is way outside my comfort zone so I appreciate your support in nailing this challenge!

Help me support this critical work and donate to my skydive. Every bit helps!
