WRAL Meteorologist Aimee Wilmoth has a fear of heights. So, why was she perched at the top of the 30-story Wells Fargo Capitol Center ready to rappel down the side?

For her brother and other Special Olympics participants.   

“Although I hesitated (major fear of heights!), I agreed to do it because the cause is just so close to my heart," Wilmoth said. "Growing up, I can remember my brother training for the Special Olympics and competing. He absolutely loved participating. Some of his biggest smiles were during his competitions. The Special Olympics is such a vital part of these participants' lives. Please help me raise some money to help bring smiles to athletes across North Carolina!"

The stunt was part of a fundraiser and for those who raise $1,000 or more for Special Olympics North Carolina get to rappel down the side of the skyscraper. 

Yes,  it was "all about me TV" but it was for a good cause. 

Here's a couple of camera angles of Wilmoth going over the edge.
