This Friday is Over the Edge, an event to raise funds for the Special Olympics of NY.

I’ll be rappelling with teammate Meghan Mae at 3:35pm. I’ll also be there before and after providing services for the event as an Escort*. Ooo la la!

In addition to the rappeling during the day, we’ll be at the after-party at McGeary’s starting at 7:00pm. Bring a friend!

It’s not too late to give. Please give what you can – every little bit goes a long way towards helping the Special Olympics of NY. More info & to donate: CLICK HERE. All the incentives for giving listed on that page are still available until Thursday at midnight! (I still owe Courtney and Patrick portraits and Jason P. his promised video – all of which will come this week!)

* Meaning I literally escort people around the site, not the “everything but kissing” type of escort.
