Eric Kipp, Special School District teacher, raised $1,165 and kept his word as he rapelled down the Hyatt Hotel in downtown St. Louis.
“It was an experience of a lifetime,” Kipp said.
Kipp thanks everyone who supported him by donating and cheering him on, and he can’t wait for next year.
Kipp’s nephew, Joshua Geisler, recorded and edited this video of Kipp rappelling down the building:
