The Cause
I never always enjoyed hiking. That is until I got into photography. In fact prior to photography I hated nature because nature bothered my allergies and I considered them the source of my allergic reactions. Photography opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at the world and a different philosophy altogether. It ultimately led me back to nature where I found myself urning to be in lush green areas and feeling the winds brush against my face atop the mountains. This is the case only because of two reasons. One being that I am fortunate enough that my family has always made it a point to travel around and see or experience new parts of the world no matter how close or far. The second being that if I were not able to pick up a camera and begin experimenting with taking photographs, I would never have ended up enjoying nature like I do today. Today I tolerate my allergies and only recently found out that in some remote areas where the air is truly clean, my allergies are practically non-existent.
The Will
Fast forward to today. I have had the opportunity to hike in many different areas and I’ve recently had the chance to hike in the mountains of New Hampshire. What’s the big deal you might say? Well, not everyone has that opportunity and I believe that everyone should have the ability to grasp that opportunity if they’d like to. Often social and economic circumstances do not allow for people to even give a second thought to hiking. When has walking in the wilderness become a luxury?
The Climb
Therefore I decided to climb the CN Tower this year in an effort to raise a modest amount for the United Way. I’m also hoping to assemble a team at my workplace to raise more money together. I hope everyone out there will support my cause or the United Way and help contribute to our community — even if just a few dollars. If you can’t spare a dollar, no problem … let out a cheer (or roar!) in support of my climb and that’d be just as good 
Here is where you can go to support my climb up the CN Tower! Many thanks!
