The Courageous Journey

So, one week today, right about now, myself and two friends will have been climbing for almost 10hrs. As I sit here now, watching a fundraising show, "Stand up for cancer", I find myself even more so motivated to raise as much money as possible for the Ronald McDonald House. Seeing all these people that have had to fight off cancer, knowing that my wife has battled through such a clash. Thinking about how many children, day in and day out, fight for their lives, some courageously coming out on top, some courageously battling until the end. I need your help. It doesn't matter if it's $10 or $1000, every little bit helps. Even if it means slogging up and down a climbing wall for 24hrs. I urge everyone to do what they can to help with the Ronald McDonald House, "Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) of Canada is a registered charity that is dedicated to helping children with serious illnesses or disabilities, and their families, lead happier and healthier lives."



"What would the world be like, if no one stood up and took a stand? I know that if enough of us stand up together, anything is possible." Denzel Washington said this tonight during the "Stand up for Cancer" fundraiser. This was inspiring.



I look forward to seeing everyone and anyone that has time to make it to Cranbrook's Rotary Park, cheering, holloring, even throwing things at either myself, Travis, or Jesse, as we climb for the kids that battle for their lives, and the families that battle along side them.



Thank you.
