Hey guys -- out of all my friends, you guys are most likely to relate to this! :) Wish you all were here on the west coast so I could twist your arms to do this with me. Now, you just have to pressure Bala to do this with me! :) 


I’ve signed up to rappel 230 feet down from the roof of the Hyatt Regency in downtown San Francisco to help send kids on Outward Bound. Now I need your help to make it happen.

My goal is to raise $2,500 -- enough to send one deserving youth on a 10-day expedition this summer or to send one entire classrooms of twenty low-income youth on a rock climbing day. 


You can make a gift online on my fundraising page at Send Helen Over the Edge or you can mail a check (with my name in the memo field) to Outward Bound California directly at 1539 Pershing Drive, San Francisco, CA 94129. 


More about Outward Bound

Outward Bound's mission is to change lives through challenge and discovery and they accomplish this by taking young people on expeditions in both wilderness and urban settings. Outward Bound California gives students the chance to push their limits on these expeditions and they come home with a sense of confidence, grit and determination that stays with them for the rest of their lives. Because Outward Bound California believes that income level should not dictate access to outdoor leadership and educational opportunities, they reach out to underserved and low-income students, proving two in three of their students a full or partial scholarship to participate. 


Please support this important organization by donating here: Send Helen Over the Edge 

Want in on the action? Start your own fundraising page and join me on the rappel. For more details visit www.cityskylinechallene.org


All my best,


Helen

TL;DR I'm rappelling 23 stories off the Hyatt in downtown SF to change lives by sending kids on Outward Bound. Want to support or join me? Come rappel or watch March 27th and 28th  http://goo.gl/1BEpuQ

Helen, this is really cool!
 
Great to hear about the new adventure. It sounds like lots of fun and the link for SG is very interesting too – something that we would definitely do in future.
 
I checked out your page and good to see lot of supporters already in. Shall surely put in something through Bala and also give him a nudge ‘over the edge’ for ya!
 
Take good care and be safe!
 
Cheerios!
