Last year, "big" Sarah Adams took part and had great support from friends and family, but this year Sarah asked her "little" Hakizimana Dafroze if she also wants to take part.

Sarah is raising money to send her "little" over the edge.

"I thought she would have a really fun time going Over the Edge, because she has a fear of heights and also just to get that support from my friends and family and just feel what I did when I went Over the Edge," Sarah said.

"I was kind of like nervous about it, but I still wanted to do it because I want to get over the fear of heights," Hakizimana explained.
