In October 2009, the United Way will run its annual CN Tower Climb. While this event normally raises hundred of thousands of dollars to support United Way charities, 2009 will be a landmark year for the event with a $1,000,000 being raised in under 12 minutes.
Being able to climb the 1,776 steps takes some degree of fitness and those in shape can usually complete the climb in under 30 minutes.
Of all the climbers, less than 1% are able to finish in under 12 minutes and to date, no individual has raised over $50,000.
Wow! I just came across you blog today and as someone who works at UWT can say for certain, your efforts will really make a difference in the lives of people living in our city. Thank you.
I’m curious to know more about what you’re up to and will certainly be following your progress!
