Troy Woods of Lawrenceburg lands after jumping Sunday afternoon at Arnold’s Airport in Lebanon. He and his daughter, Christina, plan to host a ‘Canopies for Kids’ charity event June 1 to raise money for Kentucky Children’s Hospital and to give skydiving teddy bears to children undergoing medical procedures and treatment.
Skydiving teddy bears provide courage for sick children

Nothing’s braver than a teddy bear.
A teddy bear that jumped from an airplane at about 9,500 feet, that is.
Lawrenceburg resident Troy Woods, a statewide record-holding skydiver and jumping instructor at the Jumping for Fun Parachute Center, has jumped from planes for charity before.
Last year Woods broke the state record (80 jumps in one day) while he raised funds for a boy battling leukemia.
On June 1 he will strap stuffed teddy bears to his chest as a fundraiser for Kentucky Children’s Hospital with the help of his daughter, Christina.
