Climbing for CFA Kangaroo Ground

This Saturday I’ll be joining 700 Firefighters and Emergency services personnel in the Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb to help raise funds for Cancer Research and Crisis Support.
We will tackle 28 floors in 25kg of turnout gear to help Lifeline, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation and 000 Foundation.

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 Robert T Linnane in memory of their sacrifice made on that fateful day. Search and read more about Robert T Linnane.

So far, I've raised $2,993 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.

    Thanks Claire. The stair climb was difficult but is over in lass than 7 mins. I could not imagine the challenge and pain barriers that must exist when you’ve run Melb Marathon.
