Happy 2024 friends and family!  With the start of the new year it is time for me to start training for the 2024 LLS Firefighter Stairclimb in support of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as a member of the Seattle Fire Department Team Tristan.  For the 3rd year I will also be teaming up with my friend Jane Walker as she continues to successfully win her battle with leukemia.  Before I ascend the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle, WA on 10 March 2024, I will be raising funds throughout the season in the name of funding and finding a cure. Please consider making a donation to not only help me achieve my personal fundraising goal, but to benefit patients and their families everywhere.


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.
