Amy Taylor: Over the Edge

On Wednesday, August 29th, Amy Taylor from our Stamford site, literary went above and beyond by stepping out over the edge in a fundraiser for the Special Olympics.  Normally, I eschew the use of the word ‘literally’.  It is misused way too often, normally where figuratively should be used.  But in this case, Amy did go above and beyond.  She went above and beyond her friends in Stamford as she rappelled down the side of the Harbor Point building in Stamford.

It was part of a fundraiser for the Special Olympics which raised a total of nearly $80,000.

It’s just another example of how caring for people around us is more than just part of the job for people at CHC.  Also, be sure to check out this video of Amy’s adventure:
