Over the Edge 8. 12- 13.2022 ® THE DURANT

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATY KILDEE

On a balmy summer weekend, a group of over 60 “Edgers’’ ascended to the roof of The Durant in Downtown Flint to participate in the only global industrial rappelling event to bring visibility and increased awareness to the disability community. With Back to the Bricks as a backdrop, Over the Edge helped raise funds for The Disability Network’s essential programming that helps people with disabilities in Genesee County live independently. My City Publisher Vince Lorraine and his daughter Courtney Lorraine buckled up for the second time. This inclusive and accessible event is the organization’s single biggest fundraiser.

NOTABLE “EDGERS” INCLUDED LINNELL JONES-MCKENNEY, MAYOR SHELDON NEELEY & JUDGE CHRIS CHRISTENSON.
