Hi Friends and Family!I will be participating in the annual Firefighter Stairclimb on March 11th. Please support me with a donation. Our efforts this year will help make a big difference in the fight against all types of blood cancers.
This year I will be climbing in honor of our good friend, Kendyl Price. She has been battling leukemia for the past 2 years, and is just 4 years old now. She is such a fighter and her life continues to be an inspiration to me and so many others. We're hoping that by raising tons of money, kids like Kendyl won't have to fight such difficult battles.
I have included some information below about what the Firefighter Stair Climb entails as well as information about the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society--which is the organization that benefits from the funds raised.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!

What is the Firefighter Stair Climb? It is a timed race to the top of the Columbia Tower, Seattle's tallest skyscraper. Each firefighter must be dressed in full combat gear and SCBA (about 50 lbs of gear total) as they ascend the tower's 69 flights of stairs. The race includes 1311 steps, 19 steps per flight, and 788 feet of vertical elevation. While the race will be rigorous, it is nothing compared to what these kids and adults who are fighting for their lives have to go through each day.
Where will my money go? All proceeds from the race go to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to assist in the mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Here is a link to their website if you'd like to get more information about this tremendous organization. http://www.lls.org/#/aboutlls/mission/
