The company has finally pushed me over the edge.  In a good way!

On Friday, August 21, and Saturday, August 22, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Mississippi Valley will be hosting their annual Over The Edge fundraiser.  Daring participants, like myself, will rappel down the side of the Hotel Blackhawk in downtown Davenport.  All 11 stories.  I don't want to know how many feet that is.  It's tall.

I'll be going Over The Edge on Friday late afternoon.  Exact time TBD.  We're doing this to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters.  If you can support a great organization here in the Quad Cities, please support right here.  After you click on "Donate Now," just search for Ryan.  Can't support financially right now? Come out and cheer me on so I don't wuss out.  I probably won't cause I did this before, and it's for a good cause and fun!  So if you can donate, it would be very appreciated as they near their 2026 goal!
