Ralph Shaw wore his gold jacket when he rappelled down the 18-storey Delta Ottawa Hotel and Suites.

Ralph Shaw, owner of Century 21 Explorer Realty in Ottawa, rappelled down an 18-storey building recently to raise funds for Easters Seals Kids to Camp.

He came down the north tower of the Delta Ottawa Hotel and Suites, raising about $2,500.

Ottawa’s Easter Seals Drop Zone raised $127,673, surpassing the goal of $125,000. All proceeds from the event went towards helping Ontario’s families of kids with physical disabilities, including sending kids to a fully accessible Easter Seals summer camp.

Shaw says the biggest rush of the event was the moment he went over the ledge of the building. “There’s a second where you wonder if the harness is going to catch you, but of course it does,” he says.
