Vancouver Realtor Attempts Grouse Grind Record for a Great Cause – Royal LePage Shelter Foundation | Vancouver Real Estate Blog

I think that most of us want to make the world a better place. Some of us take steps to do just that while most of us just can’t seem to find the time. For a long time, I’ve put myself in that latter category. However, this summer I am going to try and change that.

I strongly believe that small steps can and do make a difference. For that reason, I will be taking many small (although probably out of necessity most of them will be lengthy) steps on June 22nd, 2009. That day I plan on breaking the record for the most summit ascents of the Grouse Grind in one day (the current record is 12).

The most important goal for that day is to raise as much money as possible for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. This incredible organization is there to help women and children suffering from domestic abuse. Of every dollar donated, 100% goes directly to those in need (Royal LePage covers all administrative costs of the charity).

I’m excited about the challenges that lie before me. Physically, this is one of the most difficult things that I’ve ever done. Climbing the Grind 13 times is the equivalent of climbing higher than Mt. Everest in one day and will burn more than 13,000 calories.

Please Donate

My biggest challenge, though is raising money for a very important charity. While I will be climbing the Grouse Grind on my own, I can use your help to raise money. I would appreciate any help that you can provide to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation.
