In one week I will race up 1100 feet in the sky to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt to highlight the importance of physical fitness for the brave FDNY firefighters, EMTs and paramedics who are always ready to respond at a moment’s notice.
Funds raised will help purchase stair climbers for FDNY firehouses and EMS stations.
Recently, firefighters had to run up 21 flights of stairs donning full bunker gear weighing upwards of 60 lbs in 70+ degree weather to rescue families trapped in a fire in a high-rise building as the elevators were inoperable. After such a strenuous climb, they then executed a lifesaving roof rope rescue on the outside of the building to save the occupants.
Timing, training and physical fitness all played an integral part of the success of this life-saving incident.
As a Coach & Trainer and Elite Stair Climber, I want to do my part in helping them succeed by contributing to their fitness goals and profession.
Please help me raise money for this great cause.
Any amount is appreciated.
Donations deadline is this Thursday, April 24th.
