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.
Hey everyone! I\’ve taken on a challenge that\’s not just about pushing my limits but also making a real difference! This year, I\’m participating in the Melbourne Fire Fighter Stair Climb, where I\’ll be tackling 28 floors in 25kg of gear, all to support three amazing causes: Lifeline, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation, and 000Foundation. My goal? To raise $1000 and smash my fastest time of 7 minutes 40 seconds!
But here\’s the twist: I need your help to keep me motivated and smashing my fitness goals. For every $25 raised, I\’ll hit the gym for a group fitness class! So let\’s make every dollar count and help me climb to new heights while supporting these incredible organizations!
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 Patrick J Brown in memory of their sacrifice made on that fateful day. Search and read more about Patrick J Brown.
So far, I've raised $1,198 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.
