A proposal at the top of the CN Tower sparks a continued tradition!
Around here, we like to think of our supporters as part of the “Panda family”- and two of our members are getting married! Tina Crupi and Rabeah Karram, two of our most memorable climbers, were engaged at the top of the CN Tower in 2011 after Tina finished her climb; “Rabeah chose to propose at the climb because he knows how much I enjoy being part of this great cause” Tina recalls. “We love seeing thousands of people come together with the common interest of supporting WWF, and using it as motivation to live a healthy lifestyle”.
Participating in the climb has become a tradition for the couple; Tina has been participating for an outstanding 10 years, and since she has introduced Rabeah to the climb, he’s become a faithful supporter as well! As Tina explains, “the climb brings as closer together. As we train it allows us to spend more time with each other, all while supporting a great cause like the environment and wildlife”.
Anyone who has been participated in the climb knows how infectious and uplifting all the positive energy is- “we really appreciate the volunteers who stand outside cheering on the climbers and the team at the top of the tower cheering and yelling, making us all feel like superstars”.
What’s one of the parts they’re most looking forward to? “High-fiving our pal Panda of course!” Tina laughs.
See you April 27th Tina and Rabeah!
