From Niagara This Week:
By the time Victoria Marcotte reached the 660th step of the Skylon Tower, she was having difficulty catching her breath. She could feel her heart pounding and her legs burning.
But as temporarily uncomfortable as the 11-year-old might have been, she welcomed the feelings as a reminder of the real pain others endure.
Like her “nanna,” who died from cancer seven years ago and was the reason why Victoria climbed the tower Saturday morning during a cancer research fundraiser. She brought in $164.
