Morning clouds and fog thwarted Kevin Burkart's attempt to jump out of an airplane 200 times in one day for charity.

The good news: The skydiving madman topped his goal of raising $60,000 for Parkinson's disease research.

Unsafe conditions Wednesday morning at Skydive Twin Cities in Baldwin, Wis., delayed his first jump. Burkart didn't get started until after 11 a.m.

He gave it a good go, though, finally calling it quits at about 10 p.m. after 150 jumps.
