The Grouse Grind Will Kick My A$$ for Charity

by Sebastian on June 20, 2009

You likely already know about the plans that I have to break a world record to raise money for charity. I’ve been planning and training for this event for the past few months. Of course, the day was bound to arrive eventually but it really has snuck up on me.

It’s hard to believe that there is just one more day left.

Grouse Grind

Learn about my record attempt on the Grouse Grind

I have to admit that I’m nervous. Yes, I’ve done this before. Last summer I matched the current record number of ascents of the Grouse Grind in one day (12).

That was probably the most difficult challenge that I’ve ever taken on, and I am not shy of taking on challenges. This task challenged me in every way possible. I was stretched to my limits both physically and mentally.

In all honesty, after that day I would have been quite happy never to see the Grouse Grind ever again. At least, that’s what I told myself the moment that I finished.

I should have known better.

Here I am just two days before tackling the same feet once more. Apparently, I am either a sucker for punishment, insane or non too bright.

Well…ok, there could be another explanation.

Royal LePage Shelter Foundation

My primary motivation is raising awareness and donations for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. This amazing organization has raised over $7 Million dollars in donations since 1999 and helps over 30,000 people each and every year. Better still, every dollar raised goes to where it is needed as all administrative costs are paid for by Royal LePage.
