    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    After a three-year hiatus, the United Way ClimbUP fundraiser is back — along with the CN Tower’s oldest stair climber.

    He says he raised $1,600 that year — money that goes toward addressing poverty and housing issues in the Greater Toronto Area.

    Decker says the stairs slowly transformed from emotional support, as he processed his grief, into a personal challenge.

    That’s where United Way Greater Toronto’s ClimbUP campaign came in: climb the tower and help residents meet their basic needs.

    Thousands of people are expected to participate in this year’s stair climb, said United Way Greater Toronto executive director Daniele Zanotti.

    Decker’s son David says he was surprised when his father first told him in 2015 that he planned to climb the CN Tower.
