Hello everyone,

My name is Ingrid Pierce, and I am humbly asking for your support as I pursue a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to participate in the 82nd Anniversary Commemorative Parachute Jump in Normandy, France, honoring the heroes of D-Day and preserving the legacy of those who fought for freedom.

This event is not just a jump—

it is a living tribute to the soldiers who stormed the beaches and skies of Normandy on June 6, 1944, changing the course of history.

This year, I have been invited to take part as part of a women-led parachute team, composed of:

• Women veterans, first responders,

• Women who serve their community,

• And women dedicated to honoring those who served before us.

We represent strength, service, and sisterhood. Being part of this team is an honor in itself—but participating in this historic reenactment in France, where the original paratroopers took their leaps of courage, is truly beyond words.

The funds will cover:

• Travel to France

• Lodging

• Jump gear & rental equipment

• Safety training and associated fees

• Miscellaneous costs for travel

• Travel insurance (required)

As much as I would love to cover the expenses on my own, this opportunity comes with significant financial demands. Your donation—big or small—will directly help me represent women, veterans, and community service members on an international stage.
