I would take up the ultimate challenge and paddle the triple crown of Kayaking. They say accomplishing this is the equivalency to a beginner climbing Everest or K2 solo, without oxygen.

TurnBack Canyon - Alsek River - Alaska

Devil's Canyon - Susitna River - Alaska

Grand Canyon of the Stikine - Stikene River - Canada

The ''Pucker factor'' on these rivers is absolutely huge. Before they met imminent death, anyone suffering a failed roll attempt or spray skirt implosion would experience the most acute form of sensory depravation ever imaginable.

If you knew you wouldn't fail, the experience would be just completely awesome. You'd think you were imortal.

2. Find the cure for the world's top five killer ailments, diseases and/or sicknesses, share the knowledge with everyone and make the cost of the treatment as affordable as possible.

Ok... I have more noble goals. Though I don't think I would want to do anything that would change the natural balance of things like ending mortality... as much as mortality sucks, ending it would cause other problems such as insane over population.
