For months, I have been training on my off hours. It's now or never...... Over the past few years, we have had troopers who ran marathons, and walked across mixed terrains (Down under!). Inspired by a Scout Trooper and a Tie Fighter Pilot from Garrison Titan, I have decided to participate in Vancouver's one and only stair climb challenge, to climb the stairs of a 48 storey high building in full Sandtrooper Armor. The purpose of this climb is to bring lung health awareness and raise money for Lung Health care. This event hits home a bit, because I use to have Asthma when I was a kid. Had to sit out once in a while during PE lessons. I don't know how the Asthma went away, or maybe it never did, but I started running a lot when I was in high school, then trail running, then stair climbing, then rock climbing.......one active thing lead to another. Firefighters and civilians have been participating in this event for the past 12 years. Fire fighters climb these stairs in full oxygen tanks and masks on; some stair climbers dress up as a their team mascots. Put those two together, I figured I would represent the Charitable Empire. Where: Sheraton Wall Center Hotel, Vancouver, BC What: Support the stair climbers who are raising money for the BC Lung association When: March 3rd 2013 Event video: So here I am, less than a week away, squeezing as many stair climbing sessions as I can. If you want to help a fellow TD out, visit the donation page, proceeds goes towards Lung Health via The BC Lung Association. http://climbthewall2...ogid=6528697626 **New** The facebook event page http://www.facebook.com/events/600836633267267/# This is the building I am climbing: Onward and Upwards!
