​ After many unforgettable leaps and moments, 2 Miles of Smiles has officially concluded its skydiving events.​ Our mission was born from the courage, spirit, and unforgettable smile of Seth Darnell as he bravely fought cancer. While our skydiving events have come to a close, his legacy lives on—in the lives we touched and every smile we shared, soaring two miles high.​We're deeply grateful to everyone who supported our mission—from the incredible cancer warriors who jumped with us, to the volunteers, donors, and partners who made it all possible.​Thank you for being part of this journey.
