Victory is Ours!

Our venture up Signal Hill was a great success—everyone managed to make it up the hill with minimum difficulty, and to top it all off, there was birthday cake with the most delicious cream cheese icing waiting for us at the top.

Fresh off the presses (or would that be the USB port?) here are some pictures from the AI 4 TA walk yesterday!

The boys making their way up Signal Hill.

Wilma presenting the crucial element--the birthday cake.

TA blows out the candle and makes a wish. True story: the wind (notoriously high on the Hill) probably makes this the worst place to blow out a birthday candle west of a sand storm. But TA managed to get hers out just before the breeze took it!

The whole team. Congratulations on the summit!

Counting the efforts of everyone involved, 74 walks up Signal Hill were completed. A feat that TA insisted was at least the height of Mount Everest. And I guess if anyone would know, it would be TA! A big thanks to everyone who took part. Donations to the Canadian Prostate Cancer Network can still be made here.

Just another adventure for Applecore’s longtime friend TA Loeffler. Starting at 12 noon on June 24^th (which just happens to be her birthday) TA Loeffler will be climbing Signal Hill 10 times to raise funds for prostate cancer research. In addition to spreading awareness, this is also the final preparation for TA's forthcoming effort to summit Mount Elbrus (Europe's highest peak) an adventure that will be beginning in July. You can read all about that particular adventure at TA’s website.

If there’s one thing Applecore can get behind, it’s a good cause, so the entire office will be joining her on the last leg of her climb. We’re excited to play even a tiny part in such a useful, awareness-building cause… and we’ll definitely be snapping a few pictures after we’ve finished the climb!

TA is inviting us to join her for a leg of the walk or two (which takes about 20-25 minutes) and wear sky blue (the awareness colour of prostate cancer). TA is also asking well-wishers to consider making a donation to the Canadian Prostate Cancer Network in lieu of a gift or card.

As extra incentive, birthday cake is waiting at the top. Check back here for the wrap-up!
