Helping you see your strength

High-Wire Forest Adventure!

July 26, 2010 By Scott K. Johnson 1 Comment

 

Meet Becky.  She’s from the UK.  She’s crazy.  And she’s fabulous.

I read her post about a group of her friends doing an obstacle course, high above the ground in the forest canopy, and I thought she totally lost it.

On August 14, 2010, she is taking on “Go Ape – Dalby Forest“, a giant obstacle course built into the forest canopy.  There are ladders, walkways, bridges, tunnels, and zip lines.

There are a bunch of videos on youtube that show the extreme craziness of what this stuff is all about.  This probably looks fun to a lot of you, but never in my life would I volunteer to do this stuff.

She and a few of her friends pulled together to form “The D-Team”, and they are risking their lives for donations the UK JDRF.  Becky recruited Chris Bishop to put this pretty cool logo together, which made me smile and think of Mr. T (not the new Mr. T., and not the now-old Mr. T., but the original tough, gold-chain and mo-hawk wearing, taxi-driving (whoops!  wrong show!), Mr. T.)

I think it’s really a fun thing they are doing, and a bit different than what we normally think of when we talk about fundraising.

Donating a few bucks is easy.  The whole D-Team operation is UK based, but their Just Giving page allows you to use PayPal, which handles all of the currency conversion for you.
