Hello friends and family, welcome to my 9th annual Firefighter Stairclimb! I appreciate you visiting my page and considering donating. I have been proud to support this organization the past 9 years by raising money and climbing in honor/support of those with or who have had blood cancers. For those new to my fundraising page, each year I dedicate my climb in honor of my dear friend Laura who fought and survived Leukemia. Laura is my inspiration for supporting this cause each year and I am honored to climb in her name. Please considering donating to my climb in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Thank you in advance for your support!

What is the LLS Firefighter Stairclimb?

The LLS Firefighter Stairclimb is the world's largest on-air stair climb competition, and annual fundraiser held at the tallest building in town, the Columbia Center. All 2,000 participants are career, volunteer, or retired firefighters who will climb up the second tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi in full turnout gear, weighing over 60 pounds, while on-air. Throughout this grueling course, we all remember that every step forward is representative of moving closer to a cure. Although this is an extreme test of physical endurance, it pales in comparison to what blood cancer patients endure. All proceeds raised directly benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and since its inception in 1991, this event has raised over $22 million thus far.
