Elevators are for wimps -- not Peggy Murphy.
62 years old. An amputee. A grandmother.
Able to climb the tallest building in Los Angeles. The tallest building west of the Mississippi River.
"If I could do that at 62 on crutches, why can't you?"
Yes. Exactly.
WHY CAN'T YOU?
I tell people that when I moved to Los Angeles that I drove cross-country and they respond, "What?! You didn't just fly?!"
Uh, and do what with my Jeep and belongings that I wanted to bring?
Where the hell is your sense of adventure?
I tell people that I am going to climb 75 stories and they respond, "Horrible. I can think of much better things to do with my time."
Which inspires the question, what exactly DO you have to do that's better? Sit on the couch? Eat doritos? Spend yet another day in your short life NOT ACCOMPLISHING SOMETHING OR PUSHING YOURSELF?
Great. Get on it with all deliberate speed.
And a one-legged, 62-year-old, grandmother will be hopping and stepping and crutching and wheelchair-ing her way past you.
BUT, if you choose to do something different. If you choose to move. If you choose to get your body doing what it was made to do, then...
Sign up TODAY for the Stair Climb for Los Angeles and even if you don't climb for yourself, climb for someone or something else. Climb for someone who can't walk, run, see, hear or do for themselves due to physical limitations. Climb for the youth and community programs that are supported by the Ketchum-Downtown YMCA out of the proceeds from the Stair Climb.
