Climb. Conquer. Cure.

Hello! Once again, I will be participating in the LLS Firefighter Stairclimb in support of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). This year I'll be participating as a 50 year old!  Before I ascend the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle, WA, I will be raising funds throughout the season in the name of funding and finding a cure. Firefighters are at an increased risk for blood cancers, so this charity hits close to home for all of us who wear the uniform. Please consider making a donation to LLS by clicking the "Donate Now" button.

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 Seattle, the Columbia Center. We'll be climbing 69 flights of stairs in full turnout gear, weighing about 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.

I'm hoping to raise at least $2000 for LLS this year. I very much appreciate anything you can do to help me reach this goal. That could be making a tax deductible donation on your own, or forwarding this page to someone you know who might be interested in supporting this cause.  

Thank you for your time, consideration, and sincere generosity in this cause worth climbing for.
