I DID IT!!!




22:12 was my time (my goal was under 40 minutes)

Well all my hardwork was finally coming to an end with my trek up the CN Tower. I have to say I wasn't looking forward to it, only because a week before I got pretty sick with a sinus infection and my medicine was only into me for 4 days. I wouldn't have missed it with all my sponsors and supporters encouraging to my lead up to the climb. I probably shouldn't have done the climb and would never again being sick - a lesson learned!

Next year Jill and Dani want to participate - I am already looking forward to next year. I would like to see what time I get in good health. I am exstatic with my results and disappointed at the same time because I am wondering what my time would have been if I was in good health.



I have a few more photos to post but just wanted to post my results. Thanks again to all my sponsors and supporters. I was really happy with the amount of money I raised $784!!

There were 5000 people going up Saturday and the previous Thursday was the team challenge with about 2000 climbers. It was amazing the people that turned out to participate - People from all walks of life and lots of kids - We can't wait to do it as a famiy next year.

See you next April

CN Tower Climb

Good Afternoon

Just a quick hello. Today is Thursday and I am running the CN tower this Saturday. I have been suffering from a sinus infection and I am hoping that with the antibiotics I will be able to run it (I will walk it if I have to). We will be getting up bright and early to arrive in Toronto by 8:30 am (oh the dread of waking a tween before 10 am!!). I hope to have a few pictures to post of my success.

See you next week after the climb!

Wish me luck.
