What's Next? Murph's Elevator Haters!

Goal: Get 20 People to Sign Up for the Kolh's Step Up for Kids, a stair climbing contest at the AON Center in Chicago that raises money for Children's Memorial Hospital here in Chicago.
Secondary Goal: Have team raise $1500.
So this is kind of a tricky deal.  Obviously this is a little different of a project for me.  It requires a lot from other people.  
Climbing the 80 floors of the AON Center can sound like a very difficult task.  Who among us doesn't lose their breath after jumping up one flight of stair, never mind 80 stories worth?   But as someone that has participated in a number of these stair climbs, I can tell it much easier than you would think.  
That and the project is worth while as the charity is one my favorites in Chicago.  I ran the 2005 Chicago Marathon for Children's.  
Thus, strange blog world, meet Murph's Elevator Haters.

Reading this make me very glad that I don't live in Chicago ... did you get anyone to sign up? You should make RP sign up - that'd be hilarious.

RP did join us. As did the GF and a few other friends and co-workers. Overall we had 8 people on the team. Not a bad turnout.
