Climbing for CFA Boronia

Hi,
Planning a nice gentle stroll up a few stairs with some of my Boronia brigade mates. I’m not being remotely competitive – or even thinking about beating my sub five minute PB.
Fundraising is for worthwhile causes with reputable charities. Cancer and depression are no chums of mine. And it’s tax deductible. Ace.

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 Thomas Mingione in memory of their sacrifice made on that fateful day. Search and read more about Thomas Mingione.

So far, I've raised $1,744 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.
