Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to share that I, Evan Shirley-Wooley from the Moscow Volunteer Fire Department, will be participating in the LLS Firefighter Stairclimb to support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). As I prepare to ascend the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle, WA, I am committed to raising funds throughout the season with the goal of funding and finding a cure for blood cancers.

Thank you for joining me in this important cause. Together, let's make a positive impact in the fight against leukemia and lymphoma.


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.
