He might not be as popular as Nick Vujicic, but Chris Koch isn’t someone to sneeze at. The Nanton man recently climbed all 802 Calgary Tower steps under half an hour, in order to raise money for the Calgary Zoo to rebuild after the devastating floods. The 34 year old was born without arms and legs, but that didn’t stop him from attempting this personal challenge. When I saw this story on the news, I was immediately humbled and felt a boost of determination towards my future prospects. If Chris can attempt a task that may seem of gargantuan proportions to him, then why can’t one attempt something that might seem like a far stretch to them? There’s no harm in trying and as Chris re-quotes the old English adage, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Chris’s donation page is accepting donations till Sept 1, 2013 after which donations can be given directly to the Calgary Zoo’s donation page.
