People have been leaping off a Kentucky skyscraper Wednesday.

Hundreds of people have been vying for the chance to leap off and rappel down Lexington's "Big Blue" building for charity.
The first 100 people to raise $1,000 for the Boy Scouts are actually getting to do it.

The Lexington Financial Center rises 31 stories, that's about 410 feet off the ground. For the next two days, participants are strapping on the safety harness and making their way down.

The oldest participant is a 74-year old insurance agent.  And this fundraiser is coming to Bakersfield this weekend.

If you raise $1000 you get to rappel down the side of Bakersfield's tallest building, Stockdale Tower.

"Over the Edge" - a fundraiser for the Boy Scouts of America
Saturday 9 am - 4 pm
Stockdale Tower
