THIS DESCENT MEANS MORE
Go over the edge for cancer support!
On September 13, 2025, over 50 brave individuals took on the Skyline Rush Challenge, rappelling 265 feet from the rooftop of the Sandman Signature Edmonton Downtown Hotel—all to support Albertans living with cancer.
Thanks to their courage and the generosity of supporters like you, this event raised vital funds to help Wellspring Alberta provide free programs and services for those affected by cancer. We couldn’t do it without our amazing participants, donors, and volunteers—thank you for making a difference!

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Some of our most asked questions
How much money is an individual required to raise?
The event registration fee is $200 and participants are required to raise an additional minimum of $1,000 for Wellspring Alberta.
What do we wear to rappel?
Well-fitting sneakers, light hiking boots, or other soft soled shoes are best. No sandals, slip-ons, slippers, flip flops, heels, or steel toed boots allowed. Comfortable long pants (tights, athletics pants) or shorts are recommended. Long or short sleeve t-shirts are best. The harness goes around your legs, waist, and shoulders, so it is best to avoid anything bulky. Shirts should be comfortable, without draw cords. Hair should be tied back.
You will be required to leave droppable items like keys and cell phones, or jewellery that can get caught on
things, with a staff member on-site. You will be given a pair of leather gloves and a helmet when you arrive.
Many people choose to wear costumes for their rappel. All costumes need to meet the same standards as
listed above. Capes must be approved by the Site Safety Supervisor for the main rappel.
Who can rappel?
Almost anyone who has registered and raises $1,200 by September 5. Rappelers must weigh between 100 and 300 pounds to ensure their safety while rappelling. The only restriction is that anyone under the age of 18 requires a parent or guardian’s signature on the legal waiver.
