A quick thank you to Phil Holmes of the Sun Gazette for the very nice article in today's edition. Phil took the time to speak with us and learn the real story behind the climb. It was clear that he put time and effort into his work and for that we would like to say thanks.
Training today, Speed work w/weight vest, 4 sets of 20 floors at 90 steps/min w 65lb weight vest. All I can say is tough.
I was going to cover the SCBA but thought I would touch on another subject first.
I have learned a lot about people so far in this adventure. Some people get involved when you ask for assistance. Other people hear your request but choose to not get involved. I am always curious why some people don't get involved. I find it hard to understand why this happens. Perhaps someone could explain it to me.
The other subject is why Brian and I have taken on this adventure. First it isn't to gain attention for ourselves. The articles in the newspapers were designed to gain sponsors for the climb and benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Second we are honoring people who have fought and are fighting blood cancers. Finally, we are doing something by getting involved.
Thank you to those who read this blog and have gotten involved. Your support is very important to us. We look forward to carrying your name with us to the top of the Columbia Tower.
If you haven't become a sponsor yet, well what the hell are you waiting for? Stop watching and get involved! Here is the link. Please help http://sponsorbrianandjohn.net
Sorry for the ranting tonight.
See you at the Top!
John
