Over the Edge 4 GSNI

"My first year, I rappelled with my sister. As "middle-aged" women, we don't have lots of opportunities to do something this fun and adventurous. My second year, I rappelled with a Girl Scout. She was clearly afraid and crying as we prepared to step off the roof of the building. When I asked if she still wanted to rappel, she replied with something like, "of course I do!" What an inspiration she was! We really bonded that day. I love when we run into each other at Girl Scouting events. We always take time to remember our great adventure." - Angie

"I enjoy high-adventure, but I signed up to do this because it's a cause that is very important to my wife and mother-in-law. It was a fun way for me to help them raise funds for an organization they have been involved in the majority of their lives." - Anthony
