Skydive for Mona!

Tags : #monosvoladores #skyMONA2015

Aaron is our fifth FlyingMonkey (MONOVoldador)! Want to know why he decided to skydive for Mona?

“I skydived for Mona because I’m an animal lover and fight for animal rights. I’ve always wanted to skydive and what better way to do so than by supporting a good cause and people that compensate the meanness and cruelty of others by doing some good in this world”
