Climbing for TFS Kingston

Hi all,
I need your help. Please
I will again, for the 8th time on the 7th September, be attempting, by donning my full fighting gear and Breathing Apparatus weighing around 25kg and ascending 28 floors of the Crown Metropol hotel. From the bottom to top without breaks.
Myself and 2 other Kingston volunteer fire brigade members, along with other TFS brigades from around the state and around Australia, will be attempting the same in there own way to raise funds for Cancer Research and Crisis support!.
As a symbol of the burden of significant health and well-being issues faced by all emergency first responders and their families on a daily basis, some will be breathing “on air” through a self contained breathing apparatus adding an extra level of difficulty to our climb.
So we need your help in raising much needed funds. Any denomination will be appreciated. Just either look for my name or brigade name to donate.
This year they have made it easy with a QR code .
Thank you very much to those who have already donated 🥰

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

So far, I've raised $1,230 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.
