Bethanee McCandless' special tribute to her sister

“The last weekend of my sister’s life we talked about about skydiving together. And when she died I knew that someday I wanted to go since she couldn’t. So on my 36th birthday a few years ago, I did it! She was my biggest reason. I had her picture in my pocket and I was thinking of her all the way down.” — Bethanee McCandless


I have a picture of her skydiving but I don't think I would be allowed to post it.

You are right in not posting the picture as it would conflict with the forum rules.

That's a really sweet tribute to Rachel. I know I think it would be nice for my loved ones to do something special and exciting with me in mind if I ever died before I got to do some of the things I wish to do in life.

The story and photos are on the Rachel's Challenge facebook page, posted over a year ago.

Wow this is pretty neat. Skydiving is so scary lol! I am glad she faced skydiving thinking of her sister. Rachel would be proud
