Over the Edge is today and Kevin Marshall is going down!

Hey everyone!

I’m at the Crowne Plaza for Over the Edge, and our first rappellers are about to go down! Here’s the view from the top:

I’m excited and nervous, but that’s neither here nor there.

The important thing is that you readers raised in excess of $2,000 for Special Olympics of NY. Dreams will be realized and self-esteems boosted due to your kindness. So on behalf of the Special Olympics of NY, thank you for your generosity.

And if you haven’t already, you still can still donate by visiting the website. A little bit makes all the difference in the world for the athletes and their families.

We (me and teammate Meghan Mae) go down at 3:30pm.
