Photo Flash Back: Drop Zone Ottawa

3 years ago, I took part in the Easter Seals Drop Zone challenge.  I raised $1, 500 for the Easter Seals Foundation, dressed up as a superhero (Robin, girl version) and rappelled 16 stories down the Delta Hotel in downtown Ottawa. It was one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life and it took place again today in Ottawa!  Here are some photos of my downward adventures. The courageous man rappelling beside me, Joey Mitic, an ex-soldier and ex-participant on The Amazing Race Canada, lost both his legs to an IED while serving in Afghanistan. It's obvious that Joey did not let his handicap stop him from leading an active and inspiring life. This is what Easter Seals is all about, and it was an honour to participate in such a rewarding event.  Thanks again to all those who supported me and congratulations to all of this year's Easter Seals superheroes!
