          A third-generation skydiver, Aikins has over 18,000 jumps and has performed a variety of skydiving stunts. "I pushed myself further physically and mentally than ever before," said Aikins. "But I had to prove that it could be done."

"Luke is committed to taking risks and pushing the limits," said Laura Henderson, global head of content & media monetization at Mondel?z International.
