Challenger Leadership Members Rappel for Charity.<\/h1><\/span>

Last week, Challenger\u2019s very own Lynda Crickmore (Vice President of Operations) and Geoff Topping (Senior Director of Human Resources) participated in Make-A-Wish <\/em>Foundation\u2019s event Rope for Hope<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

What is Rope for Hope<\/em>, you ask?<\/p>\n

\u201cRope-for-Hope\u2026 is a unique challenge event that calls on participants to fundraise in support of local wish-granting efforts, in exchange for an exhilarating experience to rappel down a city skyscraper.\u201d (www.ropeforhope.ca<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"NHP_8361\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. Lynda and Geoff geared up and rappelled down one of London Ontario\u2019s tallest buildings in the city center.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lynda and Geoff joined the Rappelling team Trucking for Wishes <\/em>which formed in 2007, and has donated more than $350,000 to Make-A-Wish <\/em>Foundation through a variety of initiatives. (You can learn more about this team at their website: www.truckingforwishes.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This year, Challenger\u2019s support got the company logo on the Trucking for Wishes<\/em> trailer.\u00a0\u00a0 For this event, Trucking for Wishes<\/em> was one of the top teams in Canada for Rope for Hope<\/em>, raising an incredible sixty-seven thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

When asked about his rappelling experience, Geoff Topping says, \u201cThis was my first time! I had never done anything like this before! Gearing up and standing at the edge were not too bad. But that first step back was when I got nervous! It was an amazing experience \u2013 the descent was a great adrenaline rush and total blast!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"NHP_8366\"<\/p>\n

Lynda Crickmore adds, \u201cI would totally recommend this! It was incredible! I was so glad to support a great team that supports a great cause!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"NHP_8368\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Rope for Hope event was a great success, and Geoff and Lynda represented our company bravely, fundraising and stepping backwards off the ledge, dozens of stories away from the ground. They\u2019ve demonstrated a great example of Going the Distance for a great cause!<\/p>\n
