Casey Gilbert Repels off Tall Building in DesMoines

Filed under: Uncategorized — Susan Beary @ 3:54 am

Casey moved back to Iowa from Japan and already had this adventure.   People who raised $1000 or more for the Special Olympics were given the chance to rappel off a very tall building in Des Moines.  She and 113 other brave souls raised the money and took the plunge on Wednesday, September 22, 2010.  The building was at 666 Walnut St. in Des Moines and is called the Financial Center.

I would not repel off my front porch much less this several stories tall building.  Being height challenged as well as a chicken keeps me grounded.  My hat is off to Casey for her bravery and big heart for Special Olympics.  Welcome home, Casey!!

I am technically challenged too but if I get help I will post the photo of her as she is rappelling and many feet in the air!
