Climb. Conquer. Cure.

69 Flights I 1,356 Steps I 788 Ft. Vertical Elevation

I have had the privilege of participating in this stair climb for several years now, but because of my time playing bagpipes, I now have more reason than ever to climb and raise money for a cure. I have played the pipes at many firefighter funerals in the last few years, too many of which passed away because of cancer. I am so happy to continue to do my part by climbing and raising money for a cure, so that maybe someday I won't have to play the pipes at a memorial for someone who lost their fight against cancer.

Thank you for your help!

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.

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