Michael from CONNECT Langley is excited to share that he'll be taking part in the Stair Climb for Lung Health, the Climb the Wall Event on Sunday, March 1, 2026, at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre, where he will take on all 739 stairs (48 storeys) to raise funds for the BC Lung Foundation.

Michael says "As a TBI survivor, this climb is personal. It's a way to celebrate progress, push my limits, and hopefully inspire others facing their own challenges.

Our team, Neurons in Motion, has set a fundraising goal of $5,000 to support lung health research, education, and community programs across BC. Whether you choose to climb with us, donate, or help spread the word, your support truly makes a difference.

(One the page opens, the bottom of the screen, click on "join an existing team, and enter the team name Neurons in Motion. Each participant is encouraged to raise $225 for the BC Lung Foundation, and there is a $5 registration fee.)

I've also included a short video that gives a great overview of the event:
