Climbing for CFA Emerald

My name is Alicia, I’m a 40-year-old mum to 2 girls, I have just recently joined the Emerald CFA im 12 months in now.

This will be my 2nd climb this year and even better this year I will be on air as a have recently gained my qualification in BA.




I love learning about all the CFA has to offer and learning on how to help out my community and give back to them. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
I have recently turned 40 since last years climb and , some people say you can’t try that or you cant do this, your getting older now, how are you going to manage that. Well my advice to anyone who says that I,s that you can do whatever you set your mind to. If you have the passion and the drive you can achieve great things. No matter how old you are.

So with that in Mind I’m challenging myself even harder by doing this stair climb again, even though it will be the most challenging thing I have ever had to do physically in my entire life, I will show people who don’t think they can do things, that they can, with a bit of passion and determination. You WILL get there.

I don’t plan on making records or even setting myself a time to get up the top fast, slow, and steady and I will make it to the top. (eventually).
The mental toll on emergency services in doing what they love to do is enormous and this stair climb is to raise vital funds to help support the amazing services that are there to provide support to is when we need it.

So please if you can please donate to this amazing cause.

9/11 Memorial

The Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb remembers the 343 Firefighters that lost their lives in the line of duty on 11th September 2001.

My stair climb race bib will include the name and photo of FDNY Firefighter Stephen G Harrell in memory of their sacrifice made on that fateful day. Search and read more about Stephen G Harrell.

So far, I've raised $310 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.
