The decision to rappel down San Diego’s tallest waterfront hotel might not be an easy one for some people, but Berkshire Hathaway California Properties real estate agent Carlos Gutierrez sees it as an excellent way to raise awareness for the fight against brain cancer. With his participation in Over the Edge, an event featuring 82 volunteers venturing down the Grand Hyatt San Diego, Gutierrez personally helped raise $4,700 for the Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure organization, making a strong contribution to the event total of $200,000.
The event was completely sold out and featured a number of local celebrities, such as Hannah and Susie Nancarrow, family of Loren Nancarrow, Maria Parker, a record setting long-distance cyclist, and Monika Carlson, a brain tumor survivor. Spectators gathered by the pool at the Grand Hyatt for high-energy entertainment, food, and fitness opportunities.
“This was an incredibly memorable experience and a great chance to support the fight against brain cancer,” said Gutierrez.
