Climb. Conquer. Cure.

Hello - As most of you probably already  know, I made a career change to become a firefighter at the beginning of 2022. One of the really cool things I am able to take part in this year is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Firefighter Stairclimb. This year will be my first year climbing and I will be climbing in honor of my late mother-in-law, Meg. Although Meg became an angel before I had the chance to meet her, her spirit lives on in the many lives she touched.

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. 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 challenging 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.

-Allen
