Climb. Conquer. Cure.

Hello! I will be participating in the LLS Firefighter Stairclimb again this year as part of the Everett Fire Department Team!  This year I am climbing in honor of my wife, Lise, who has been courageously battling an aggressive form of breast cancer over the last 13 months.  I am so grateful for all of the support that my friends and family have shown over the years by generously donating to my fundraiser in support of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).  I am hoping you will continue to support the LLS this year!  

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 $20 million thus far.

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