Here's your chance to pit yourself against 600 Firefighters in a climb up 28 floors wearing 25kgs of Turnout Gear and Breathing Apparatus. This year, the Firefighter's Charity Fund with your help will be climbing to raise $700,000 to aid in the fight against depression, PTSI and suicide. Compete, donate, or sponsor a Firefighter to help the Emergency Services Foundation support mental health initiatives.
Step up to fight depression, PTSI, and suicide
This year I am trying to help and make a difference – inspired by Kelly & Nici I have joined the challenge – Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb – During September and October, I’ll be taking part in a million steps for mental health and helping to raise $500,000 to improve support services, fund research, remove stigmas and raise awareness of mental health issues.
I intend to climb 10,000 stairs this month and in doing so I am hoping to raise $1000– I am doing this in honour of my first (and best) shed CFA Patterson River, and my brothers and sisters who are currently battling physically and mentally and those that are no longer with us – we shall meet again in Valhalla
OK so I’m in Mongolia and raising money for Triple Zero RUOK BLUE-GREEN-RED and our defence forces – I haven’t got access to the right BA or Turn out Gear – but I will improvise and smash it out.
please consider helping with the link below.
So far, I've raised $225 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.
I've completed 32,000 steps towards our overall goal of 1,000,000 steps.
