Chris Scheetz 1:56

All right. So we're t we're thanks. We're we're we're uh attempting to to ride an amusement park ride, the longest of anybody in uh in the history. I d I did some research and according to Guinness it was fifty three hours, a guy in Florida. Of course it would be Florida. Um 'cause, you know, it's Florida. Florida man. Florida Man. And so I you know what, this is my way of getting revenge on Florida by b by beating their record, I guess. I just thought of that now. And uh so th that that's half of the that's a c a quarter of wh why I'm doing this, but the real reason is for the kids, for Alberta Dreams. Um again, it's uh a charity that's uh has been around for thirty nine years, that does amazing things in uh in all of Alberta.

Chris Scheetz 2:35

How is Bob Stoffer using a Ferris‑wheel challenge to raise money for Alberta Dreams?

Chris Scheetz 2:39

from all over this uh incredible province and the community has uh stepped up and so far so good. But we're still about three thousand away from my goal initially, which was fifty four thousand dollars, a thousand dollars an hour on the Ferris wheel. And uh we're about I just checked we're about three thousand dollars short. So uh we've got uh you know forty nine minutes to try to get another three grand. If we can get it, uh we'll get to that fifty four thousand and Maybe more? And I know Bob, uh somebody that's uh near and dear to your heart, the good guys at World of Space, Jeff and Thomas and everybody there, they they said they wanna step up and do something special for us. I'm not sure what that is.

Chris Scheetz 3:15

Yeah. But they they said they wanna be a part of this thing. Canadian Tire heard about it today. They are gonna give us uh uh up to ten thousand dollars of matching money uh till uh uh five o'clock.
