Cal McGibbon halted his attempt at setting a
new Guinness world record for rope skipping after about 15
hours on Wednesday.
McGibbon had originally planned to set a new
record by skipping rope for 36 consecutive hours, while raising
money and awareness for the Sudbury Cancer Resource Centre. The
skipper stopped due to a knee injury.
Despite not achieving his record, McGibbon
still jumped away a winner. The local personal trainer and
owner of a health food store raised almost $1,500 in donations
from his attempt.
