Today was the Easter Seals Drop Zone training at Edmonton’s Vertically Inclined Rock Climbing Gym. I’ve been there a few times before as Lindsay and I took a 10 week training called ASPIRE. It’s a great course and the gym is an amazing gym. Takes you from a non-climber to someone that can lead climb. Pretty sweet.
Anyway I was there for training and had a great time. Met some new people who are excited to challenge themselves but raise more awareness for this great cause. What was kinda cool to be honest was when they were talking about the sponsors for this event and they mentioned Amway Global was the National Supporting Sponsor. When I checked in they asked how I heard about The Drop Zone and I said through Amway Global and they said oh really. Told them I was an IBO and they were a bit taken back. LOL Funny how people react sometimes. Amway Global is getting their name out a bit more now since they did have a lull. It’s great to see a company give back to great causes. I don’t see the company I work for’s name on there! 
Something I realized today was by raising money for this great charity is that I am sorta living one of my goals of building this business. We have a goal to give a lot more money to charities we support. I can tell you in the last 10 years of working I hardly donate because why? I cannot afford to. It’s also what I’m seeing a lot of when I ask for donations. People avoid it like the plague. Not that I want to pressure people into making donations but the fact of the matter is people cannot afford to donate or they donate only to one charity a year and that’s it. To be honest that’s pathetic, a should be giving back WAY more then we are. ESPECIALLY if we draw off those charities. One of my goals like I said was to donate more money to charities and we will be able to do that through what we are creating. I’m pumped to be to do that in the not to distant future. So raising more money for Easter Seals has been pretty awesome as we are around the $900 mark. Still working hard to get that $1500 so I can complete the Drop Zone so if you’re able to donate that would be awesome!
September 7th, I’ll be rappelling!
