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.
Hi. On September 12th, I’ll be climbing 28 floors in 25kg of kit and helping to raise $1 Million supporting our beneficiaries, Lifeline, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation and 000Foundation.
Please help me “Step up to fight cancer, depression, and suicide” by sponsoring me below.
Thanks to our sponsors, 100% of every dollar donated will go to cancer research and crisis support.
So far, I've raised $1,160 of my $2,000 fundraising goal.
