Climbing for CFA Mount Taylor

Another Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb!

Yep, sucker for punishment. Thank you to all of you that support me and our team each year to climb 28 floors with 25kg of kit, full BA. My aim this time is to not do my worst time due to a limited preseason! 😅

Most importantly though, the reason we do this every year is to raise funds for these important organisations: 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 William J McGovern in memory of their sacrifice made on that fateful day. Search and read more about William J McGovern.

So far, I've raised $1,292 of my $500 fundraising goal.
