"My son and I are walking for my mom, who has been a severe asthmatic for the past ten years. She has been hospitalized 7 times has had a tracheotomy. We've had a tough time because there are not many treatments out there, but we hope that raising funds will help change that."

The Breathe Extreme Challenge is the only event of its kind in the Silicon Valley. Breathe California is partnering with Over the Edge, an event company that specializes in rappelling adventures.

The Breathe Extreme Challenge is a pledge event – participants must raise a minimum of $1,000 to qualify.  The first 90 registrants that reach the minimum will receive a commemorative t-shirt and the rare opportunity to rappel 15 stories down the face of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Santa Clara.  There is a non-refundable registration fee of $50.  Registered participants will get their own personal fundraising webpage, and Breathe California staff will assist you in customizing your webpage and using it to reach your fundraising goals.  It’s easy and fun, and for a good cause – to fight lung disease in all its forms.  Breathe California is a 501(c)3 non-profit agency, and all donations are tax-deductible in keeping with IRS regulations.

Safety is the utmost priority.  Over the Edge has conducted this event in numerous cities around the US and has an unblemished safety record.  More information on Over the Edge is available at www.overtheedgeusa.com.
