Climbing for CFA Emerald

Hi. On September 7th, I’ll be climbing 28 floors in 25kg of kit and helping to raise $750,000 supporting our beneficiaries, Lifeline, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation and 000Foundation.

CFA is a massive and important part of my life and has enriched my world beyond my expectations. However emergency services roles come with the very real risk of witnessing or being involved in some pretty scary and sometimes traumatic events, whilst fulfilling our commitment to protecting the lives and property of community members, both local and further away. Crisis support for emergency services workers is an absolute must to help those who are supporting others.

Please help me “Step up to fight cancer, depression, and suicide” by sponsoring me below.

Thanks to our sponsors, 100% of every dollar donated will go to crisis support and cancer research.

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 Siller in memory of their sacrifice made on that fateful day. Search and read more about Stephen G Siller.

So far, I've raised $792 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.
