GOING over the top in the name of charity is all in a day's policing for Commissioner Darren Hine.
Next month, Mr Hine will join 60 others to abseil down Wrest Point Casino's 60m tower to raise funds for Royal Hobart Hospital's Research Foundation.
Although it had been three decades since his last rappelling experience, Mr Hine looked like an old hand as he descended the casino's 17 storeys at yesterday's preview of The Edge fundraiser, to be held at 11am on August 25.
"I usually prefer my feet to be firmly on the ground, but this is a great opportunity to do something different while raising money for a very important cause," he said, before approaching the tower's rooftop ledge.
Also taking the plunge yesterday was Hutchins principal Warwick Dean, who invited sponsors to come forward and help "heave the headmaster".
RHH Research Foundation CEO Heather Francis said all funds raised from The Edge would directly support medical research projects undertaken by doctors, nurses and allied health professionals.
"The foundation is supporting 10 projects this year, but if more funds had been available, an additional 20 worthy projects could have been supported," she said.
