Ever wonder how a man in a wheelchair has their midlife crisis? Well I have the answer for you. Unable to do the traditional buy a sports car, since they are not wheelchair accessible, I will be celebrating my 40th birthday this September by rappelling off office buildings as part of the Drop Zone Challenge for Easter Seals in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto.
The Drop Zone Challenge is a fundraiser where participants raise a minimum of $1,500 in order to be able to rappel off of an office building. Money raised goes to send children with special needs to summer camp.
2015 will not mark the first time I participate in the Drop Zone challenge. I participated twice in my hometown of Montreal, first in 2009 without a wheelchair and in 2010 with a manual wheelchair.
