Dear Family and Friends,

Hard to believe, but this is the 17th year for Cancer League of Colorado’s unique OVER THE EDGE event, which will be held on September 4th, 5th and 6th.  This year, I will complete my 26th Over the Edge rappel, and each one has been fun and exhilarating.  

We will be rappelling off the balcony of the Halo Rooftop Bar located at the top of the Kimpton Claret Hotel, which is located just north of Belleview and just west of I-25.   Unlike the last couple of years where we have done a "free rappel" off a bridge, this year will be a more traditional rappel down the side of a 20-story building.  As always, because Cancer League is a 100% volunteer and has no paid staff or offices, all dollars raised from this event will be used to support Cancer League’s commitment to fund innovative cancer research and clinical trials, as well as services for cancer patients and their families.

I AM AKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN ONE OF TWO WAYS:

1.  JOIN ME ON THE ROPES and rappel yourself.  Do this in memory or honor of  a friend, a co-worker, or family member who has been touched by cancer.  Or do this for yourself!  Whatever your motivation, I will guarantee you the experience of a lifetime, and you will be raising money for the very worthy cause of finding a cure for cancer.  To participate, you will need to raise a minimum pledge amount of only $1,000 for Cancer League of Colorado (and you have until December 31st to raise the funds), which is not hard to do when your friends and contacts understand the cause and what you are committing to do in support of it.   Go to http://www.denverovertheedge.com and hit the "Register" button to sign up.  WHEN YOU REGISTER, BE SURE TO JOIN MY TEAM, REECES PIECES.  If you want to sign up and have any trouble, please contact me and I will be happy to help you.  Space is limited, so please sign up as soon as you can.

2.     DONATE TO SUPPORT MY RAPPEL.  If the thought of rappelling off a 20-story building doesn't appeal to you, I would appreciate your support to help me reach my personal goal of raising $20,000 for Cancer League.  Simply click on https://www.denverovertheedge.com/gary-reece/.  If you would prefer to donate by check, please make it out to Cancer League of Colorado, include “Gary Reece Over the Edge" in the notes section, and send it to Cancer League's address at P.O. Box 5373, Englewood, Colorado  80155-5373.  

Please forward this information to everyone you know who has been touched by cancer in some way and might be interested in supporting the mission of Cancer League in one of the two ways outlined above.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to seeing you at the top (or the bottom) of the Kimpton Claret Hotel!  

  
All the best,
Gary
