JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The conditions are extreme, but nothing compared to what cancer patients go through.
That’s the overall message for Tim Cloyd, hot air balloon operator. Cloyd has done his “Extreme Flight to Find a Cure” for the past 7 years. Over that time, he’s departed from sites in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and others. On Wednesday, Cloyd found himself in Jamestown.
In his first 7 flights, Cloyd has helped raise $41,000 for cancer research. He says there’s a lot of risk involved in his extreme flight.
Unfortunately, due to equipment failure, Cloyd was unable to initiate his flight. He says sometime between now and March, he will be surveying other locations to conduct his flight. It could bring him back to Jamestown, or somewhere else.
Cloyd has begun gathering names for the flight and currently sits at about 60. He says anyone who would like names read are more than welcome to send them in at tecvisions.org.
