Gord's Bio
WHY DO I CLIMB? IT’S ABOUT BEING OUTDOORS, IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND THOSE EARLY MORNINGS BEFORE FIRST LIGHT, PUTTING ON MY BOOTS WHILE EVERYTHING IS FROZEN. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I CLIMB FOR OTHERS, CHILDREN WHO ARE INJURED OR SICK AT BC CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL. WITH SUMMITS OF HOPE, I CAN HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF A CHILD - A CHILD NO DIFFERENT THAN MY TWO DAUGHTERS AT HOME.
SINCE 2001, I HAVE HELPED RAISE WELL OVER $1,000,000 FOR BC CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL WHILE LIVING MY DREAM. WITH SUMMITS OF HOPE I HAVE STOOD ON THE SUMMIT OF AFRICA’S MT.KILIMANJARO, AND RUSSIA’S MT.ELBRUS, TREKKED TO THE FOOT OF MT.EVEREST, AND BEEN HUMBLED BY SOUTH AMERICA’S MT.ACONCAGUA. ”EVERYBODY HAS A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB” IS MORE THAN A SLOGAN, I SEE IT AS LIFE. I CLIMB MY MOUNTAINS TO HELP CHILDREN CLIMB THEIRS
