VIDEO: Ex-Sounders Levesque, Graham rappel Seattle skyscraper to benefit Special Olympics | SIDELINE

Ex-Sounder Roger Levesque rappels a Seattle skyscraper

Between two and five percent of the world's population suffer from acrophobia — a fear of heights — but that definitely doesn't include Roger Levesque and Taylor Graham.


As part of the Over The Edge event, the former Seattle Sounders duo took to the side of a 40-story skyscraper (above video) to prove it, and to benefit Special Olympics Washington.


Levesque and Graham rapelled down the side of a downtown building — stopping to knock on office windows and belt out largely poor renditions of recent pop music hits — and enjoyed some immense views of the Puget Sound on their way down.


Everything about this event is great — the cause, the views, the thrill — so where can I sign up for next year?
