A very close friend of mine suggested that I do something special to celebrate my 2,000th post here on the forum. Well, here goes nothing...
The first thing many of you know about me is that I am a nationally ranked archer with my eyes set on the Olympic Games. My idol in the sport of archery is none other than 2 time Olympian athlete, Brady Ellison. He is ranked THE #1 archer in the world. I have met him several times in person, and have talked with him online about this ambition of mine.
A while ago, he lost a family member due to breast cancer. Since then, he has created a program called "Shoot For The Cure", a charity that feeds into the Susan G Komen foundation. He personally donates his time, money, and effort into the charity, and I too am a supporter.
My tribute to the sport, Brady, and breast cancer patients across the world is this rocket. I had Mark from Stickershock23 print me decals, and he even did part of the free because it is towards a good cause. The rocket itself is a Baddazz Defender MkIII that will be painted pink and black, and will be fed a healthy diet of Red and Pink motors. The first planned motor is the Loki I210 Red motor.
Eric Foster was kind enough to message me today on Facebook telling me that the rocket is shipped and should be here on Monday, or close to it. He was also generous enough to include a parachute, silica, and a kevlar shock cord in the kit. Thanks for all you do, Eric.
I am also hoping to start a little charity of my own with this rocket. I plan to take this rocket all across New England. People could donate money, and every dollar donated would be 10 NS towards a motor in the rocket, but the money will be donated directly to Susan G Komen.
This will be my first large minimum diameter kit and my introduction into Dual Deploy. Please bear with me if this thread takes a bit longer than some of the faster ones around here.
