Gilda's Club Kentuckiana (GCK) goes over the top for families in Kentucky, so I'm going OVER THE EDGE for them!

Hello and welcome to my 2022 Gilda’s Club Kentuckiana ‘Over the Edge’ fundraising event page. These past few years have been challenging for Kentuckians especially those who are living with cancer. In 2021, my family was affecting by this disease however when we discovered a vibrant network like GCK, we knew we were not at it alone. 

Gilda’s Club Kentuckiana’s (GCK) mission is to change lives through community-based social and emotional oncology support. Gilda’s Club offers free social and emotional support to men, women, teens, and children who live with cancer.

My family has witnessed first–hand this mission in action. From counseling services for my 10 year old son, to support groups for my wife and I, to hand-delivered bags of Halloween treats my 6 year old daughter refuses to share, GCK has played an integral role in helping us smile and live a little more each day!

With that said, I have a request. Help me reach the roof of the Hyatt Regency in downtown Louisville and rappel 236-ft to the ground. No, really! But I need your help to reach the top of this 18-story building. I am not only pledging to go Over The Edge, but I am also committing to raise at least $2,000 for Gilda’s Club.

To reach the top, I am seeking 18 “Floor Sponsors” to pledge at least $111 per floor. However, any amount you choose donate will help me reach this goal and support an amazing non-profit organization. Over The Edge has raised over $70 million for non-profits around the world and all donations are tax deductible.

If I reach my goal, I will dedicate this rappel to my wife, my aunt Marilyn and the countless other who have benefited from the services GCK provides. Thank you in advance for ensuring no one faces cancer alone and helping me to go OVER THE EDGE!
