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 sure you know that Lifeline, Black Dog Institute and 000 Foundation do an amazing job at supporting the community’s mental health – especially during COVID times.
I try and support our community when I can by being a firefighter in the CFA and hope you can join with me to support the community through a donation for our communal mental wellbeing.
I’m also doing this because I need to get fit for this upcoming summer’s firefighting!
Many thanks, Simon
So far, I've raised $425 of my $1,000 fundraising goal.

Thank you very much Rob for your generosity. I suspect though, your donation is more like a bet, to see if I can/will do this!
