Andy Stumpf is a veritable badass.

In partnership with Skullcandy, the former Navy SEAL just broke the world record for the longest wingsuit flight (18.257 miles), and did it for an extremely worthy cause.

In addition to padding his personal accolades, Stumpf’s stunt is helping to raise money for the Navy Seal Foundation via his “Man on a Mission” GoFundMe page.

Since retiring from the military it’s been a persistent and painful struggle to watch the fight from the sidelines. Even though I can’t physically go overseas and contribute, I refuse to sit back and do nothing. I’ve decided to put it all on the line to support the Navy SEAL community and their families who live with their toes on the line everyday.

My goal is to set four world records in one jump to raise 1 million dollars to fund the Navy Seal Foundation Survivor Support Program for 2016.

The Navy SEAL Foundation exists to preserve the legacy of fallen heroes, and to support the families of those who have sacrificed more than anyone should be asked to.  The Foundation’s programs encompass survivor support, tragedy assistance, legacy preservation, warrior support and educational opportunities and are only made possible through the donations of grateful Americans.

Throughout my military career I met countless people from all over the United States who were deeply and graciously thankful for those serving on their behalf.  Almost all asked if there was anything they could do to help. If you are one of those people, this is an opportunity to get involved.

As of the time of publication, Stumpf had already raised over $58,000 to give back to our veterans.

Keep on keepin’ on, Andy.
