Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
I am one of only ten determined people participating in the Challenge the Chief event on June 11, 2023, in support of Wellspring Alberta. I am excited to take on the challenge and look forward to pushing myself as I race Calgary Fire Chief Steve Dongworth up the 247 metres / 1370 steps of Brookfield Place in downtown Calgary in full gear. Okay, fine: I won't be racing him; I'll just be trying to survive. Please be kind. I'm 60 years old.
My sister, Caroline, died of cancer and I've seen the impact cancer has on the lives of those it attacks and on their families. I have participated in the Challenge the Chief event over the past few years, climbing Encana's Bow tower in 2019, then using outdoor steps for the Challenge during COVID. Cancer care for patients and those around them continues to be a cause I care about - and Wellspring helps with both.
