Arizona Special Olympics fund raiser sending people "Over the Edge"

As Frank Gilleski, a Special Olympics athlete repelled off an 18 story building at 101 E Lexington in downtown Phoenix on Wed Nov. 10th, he stopped for a moment and raised his hands in victory as he and many others raised thousands of dollars in " Over the Edge", a fund raising event for Arizona Special Olympics. Each participant repelled off the high rise almost 200 feet, all of them with a big smile when returning to earth.

Arizona Special Olympics have over 10,600 athletes 6 of which are being sent to Athens Greece to compete in the world competition next year. Arizona Special Olympics have just completed their fall games in Surprise last month and the winter games are around the corner.
