Bill Borger is back home in Calgary a week after scaling the tallest mountain in the world.
The 35-year-old is the first Canadian and only the fifth person on the planet to have both climbed Mount Everest and swum the English Channel.
Borger’s efforts have raised $380,000 for the Calgary HandiBus Association; according to The Calgary Herald, the money will mean five new buses.
The vehicles will be able to transport the city’s disabled and elderly for at least a decade.
