On seeing the intimidating height of the QV.1 building ahead as we came off the freeway into the city early yesterday morning I turned to Aimee, who was about to Abseil for PMH, and said "there's still time to change your mind"! The sky turned from grey to blue and back to grey many times during the morning but thankfully it didn't rain. Check out the video here (one minute 33 seconds) to see why and where and some fabulous views of Perth from the top of the QV.1..
Aimee's group of four were first up, looking pretty relaxed below before the event. Para-triathlete Brant Garvey was in her foursome.. there were cameras :)
Aimee, second from the left, getting ready to take the first steps..down!
Almost half way. I know right.. madness!
Almost there! Not sure exactly how long it took, but when your heart is in your mouth it seemed a long time :)
Loved the support Aimee got from fellow participants, family and work-mates (so many of them) throughout the whole journey down the cheering was enthusiastically loud and impressive..
... and this is what it was all about! Money raised for the very best of causes.Super proud of you Aimee but can you please tick that off your bucket list and never do it again :) Sorry about the overload of pics and lack of visits, it was quite a day! Catch up today, happy Friday, take care and stay safe...
Aimee must have had a blast. That looks like such fun!

Well done, Aimee! I feel quite dizzy just looking at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat pic taken from the bottom looking up gave me shivers, Grace! You could really see how tall it is. Brave and good woman!!
ReplyDeleteI really tried to watch the video, Grace, but... OMG... I couldn´t!!!
ReplyDeleteAimee sure rocks!!
C'est le genre de sport qui me fait peur, félicitations à Aimée. Très belles et impressionnantes photos Grace :)
ReplyDeleteO.My.God! Unbelievable! Aimee, you are something. Congrats and I wish you the very best and I also wish you'd stop doing such crazy things. :))
ReplyDeleteWow, she is amazingly brave to go off the edge of that building. You are right, it is a very long way down. At least you were there to document her descent.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great accomplishment. Your photos really gave a sense to how high the building is and how long the descent was. Great job in documenting it!
ReplyDeleteCrazy is right! But all for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Aimee. The vertical flat surface looks like it was made for such a purpose.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Aimee!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I mean: "Oh MY!" Wherever does she get it? :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! My heart was pounding just looking at your pics, well done Aimee. Take care - stay safe all of you.
ReplyDeleteGood for her! I wouldn't do it because I am old and stiff but my children certainly would.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Aimee! What an amazing daughter you have Grace. Wonderful photos too. I would never have been able to hold the camera steady!
ReplyDeleteThat is a long way down! Well done to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteSo terrible high, I think you must have died a thousand deaths looking up to her! Well she made it, well done. Hope the next challange for her is on the ground..:)
ReplyDeleteA worthwhile cause and a real adventure...but heart-stopping for a mother watching! Have you recovered yet, Grace?
ReplyDeleteYou have a brave and fantastic daughter! Well done Aimee!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat makes my heart go pitter-patter just looking at the photos. I can't imagine having the nerve to do that. Congratulations to Aimee and to you for being there to watch (and photograph) the whole thing. You must be very proud!
ReplyDeleteWell done, that girl!!! I can't imagine how it must have felt for you to watch Aimee. She did it. You must be tremendously proud of her achievement.
ReplyDeleteO my goodness. How Aimeee braved doing that feat I just don't know. And i feel for you watching. I would be taking a whole gammit of photos too, just to keep a check on her.
ReplyDeleteMy heart was in my throat while watching the video. Aimee is more than just amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brave girl! Arianna
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so high!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Aimee ...
I'm clapping loudly!
All the best Jan
YAY, AIMEE! I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteWow, stunning images, Grace !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Aimee, I'm impressed !
Don't know how I missed this one Grace. Aimee would make a fine Truckie! Now for Truckie, A firefighter assigned to a truck company or better known as a ladder or hook & ladder company. She's brave enough to do this I know she'd fit right in, especially for rescue.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
