Team NorthPointe Hustles to the Top of the Hancock


Running up 94 flights of stairs in one of the nation’s tallest buildings, may not be everyone’s idea of a relaxing Sunday afternoon. But 18 people from NorthPointe Wellness trained for three months to be ready for the big day of climbing stairs at the Hancock Building in Chicago.  Recently, “Team NorthPointe” completed their third year of participating in the Hustle Up the Hancock fundraiser for Respiratory Health of Chicago and with a successful finish for everyone.
David Rilott was the team captain for Team NorthPointe for the second year in a row.  He worked with his team for months before the big day to prepare them for the climb.  With finishing times of between 15 minutes and 49 minutes, the team completed the 1,632 stairs with impressive style. Out of 129 teams Team NorthPointe finished 53rd.
