They said I couldn't so it ...

But I'll be climbing 1,088 stairs (that's 50 stories) in Philadelphia to raise funds for lung disease cures this Saturday.

I've been going to the gym regularly, stepping all over the step machine and repeating the following to myself: "Left foot. Right foot. Left foot. Right foot..."

If you want, you can meet me at the top of the stairs and dump a big cooler of Gatorade on my head.

I'd appreciate any show of support for my big walk up a flight of corporate stairs in a downtown Philly building this Saturday.

For those of you who feel up to the challenge of sponsoring me, go here:
