Help Rian Kanouff Raise Funds to Save Men's Lives

OMG HERE HE GOES AGAIN!

Help Rian Kanouff, THE FREE BALLIN’ NAKED SKYDIVER, grab his SECOND SKYDIVING WORLD RECORD to help end preventable suicides. 

I’m Rian Kanouff and I’m on a mission to save men from taking their own lives.

 Suicide is the second leading cause of death for men ages 20-44 according to the CDC and the pandemic has only made the situation worse.  With loss of jobs, isolation and the resulting depression, suicides are at an all time high.

Having lost family members and very close friends to suicide, I have dedicated myself to saving vulnerable lives by raising awareness, removing the stigma of discussing mental health, while raising funds to support organizations that help prevent men from taking their lives.

Just last summer, with your help, I successfully set the world record for performing the most NAKED skydives in a single day… A total of 60 dives in a row.  It left me exhausted, bruised and pretty raw if you know what I mean… but the results were amazing and made all the effort and pain worth it.

Check it out some of the press coverage here:

Teaming up with Movember.com for this world record, I was able to raise thousands of dollars for men’s health and start powerful conversations around the world about the silent scourge of depression and mental health struggles. 

Since my world record, I have been humbled and energized by the amazing support I received…so I am going to do it again!  But I’m raising the bar to go for an even bigger goal this time… AND I NEED YOUR HELP to make it happen!

THE 2ND RECORD
Here’s what I’m doing.

I’ll be bringing my World Record Naked Skydiving experience to help Skydive City pull off the World Record of the largest formation of naked skydivers ever attempted on February 18th outside of Tampa, Florida. We’re going to have over 20 divers get into their birthday suit and help us set the world record. We’ve had more than 40 sign up to try out!!!

I’m using this incredible opportunity to reach out around the world and use my skydiving world record status to raise money to help stop preventable suicides.

HERE’S WHY I NEED YOUR HELP

Recently, the parachute I used to set my first world record, and my camera equipment was stolen from my home outside of Omaha, Nebraska.  This chute cost me close to 10K and I don’t have the funds to buy a new one at this time.  Although I’ve borrowed a chute for this jump, I need to replace my old one so I can continue on my mission to save men’s lives.

It’s also expensive to travel from my homebase in Ne
braska to Florida, then there are the diving fees, the gear, (we may need oxygen at the altitude needed to make the jump,) and the video gear I need to promote this event to reach as many people as possible. I want to continue to start the conversations early to prevent some of these preventable tragedies. 

WHAT I’M GOING TO DO WITH YOUR SUPPORT

I am going to use every dollar raised to help me cover these essential expenses and if I raise more than I need for the 18th, I am going to replace my stolen chute for my next crazy feat.  (more to come on that soon…)

I will be updating you all as I travel from my home to the jump site in Florida and I’ll also be sharing all the details of the world record jump on the special day and the days after.

YOU CAN HELP ME MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

I only have a few days to get ready for this amazing opportunity and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous help. Together, we are making a difference and that matters.

I look forward to sharing this incredible event with you and setting the world record with your help!
