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.
I’m doing my first firefighter stair climb as a practical way to support the work and people behind the job. It’s a tough climb in full gear and a good reminder of the physical demands firefighters deal with routinely. I’m not aiming for anything dramatic — just to do the climb properly and raise some support along the way. Any donation is appreciated.
So far, I've raised $1,861 of my $2,000 fundraising goal.
