Paolo Zulian, a sales rep with Royal LePage Burloak Real Estate Services in Burlington, Ont., plans to row a million metres on an exercise machine this year to raise funds for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and local shelter Halton Women’s Place.

Zulian’s goal is to raise $10,000 and as of February he was about a quarter of the way there. You can see a barometer to track his progress at his website.
