I'm so happy to have gotten to help the "Make a Wish" Foundation in the past several years: At my most recent collaboration, Click here: http://ritaverreos.blogspot.com/search?q=Make a Wish I met Mr. Chad Wicks, Director of Marketing Communications and Events for the Austin Chapter of "Make a Wish" Foundation (to the right) A couple of months later, he asked me if I could be a "Celebrity" Rappeler as a part of their "Over the Edge" fundraising event in Austin. As you can imagine, being on SURVIVOR, cured me of pretty much every fear-even my greatest one which is of the "unknown." I've NEVER Rappeled so I figured if I was gonna do it, it was definitely going to be as a way of giving something back, cuz Lord knows I wouldn't have signed up to do this out of my own accord, just like I didn't sign up for SURVIVOR, btw... These adventurous things just always seem to find me...and I'm glad:)

| Getting geared up! |
 |
| The team was so professional. It was fun, but for some reason, I thought my feet would stick to the edge of the Building, a la "Spiderman," ha, ha, ha, but they didn't :( and that FREAKED me out, I'm not gonna lie! |
Other than that, the view of the Capitol Building was breaktaking
..or wait, was it the fact that I was dangling over the edge of a 32 foot Bldg. what was making not breathe..ha, ha, ha!
- So let's see:
- Jumping out of a Plane: check!
- Being on SURVIVOR FIJI, the adveture of a lifetime: check!
- Rappeling a 32 story Bldg: check!
These are things on a "Bucket List" that I don't even have! As I always sing: "I sit and talk to God & he just laughs at my plans!" (FEEL, Robbie Williams)...because He seems to have better, definitely more adventurous plans for me. I can't wait to see what's next! I have an idea, but I guess even I will have to "stay tuned" to find out:)
