CN TOWER Climbed, for WWF

This was AFTER the climb - and we're still smilingWell, I climbed the CN Tower on the 18th of April, in support of the World Wildlife Fund whose mission is:

—————————————-
To stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans
live in harmony with nature, by:

conserving the world’s biological diversity,

ensuring that the use of renewable
natural resources is sustainable,

promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.
—————————————-

…made it up in 20:40 - held no handrail - 144 stories, 30 flights @ 3 steps at a time (ouch) 62 flights 2 at a time (no picnic either) and raised over 300 dollars for the WWF! Thank you Donors!!!!

The day - and the whole event (for me anyway) wouldn’t have happened were it not for my brother, Michael, who encouraged me to sign up and made the day plenty of fun.

Though I couldn’t get permission to record or photograph the climb itself, I did create a record of the pre-climb, and post-climb period…
