Ok folks!

Its been a couple of years, but I finally have time to make the climb again. If you believe in a good cause, please consider making a donation.

Donations of $100.00 or more are eligible for advertising space on my turn out gear ;D (space is limited so don't wait too long... ;))

The link below [MAKE A DONATION] will take you to my page on the American Lung Association website. From there, just follow the firefighter proof instructions to make your donation.

PM me if you have any questions, and THANK YOU!

EDIT: SO much for Firefighter proof....

I guess there was a problem with the link I posted. Should be fixed now, but if it goes down again, the link below is another option, if less fool proof  ;)

Ha,ha...

Actually, when we train for this we do multiple trips.

But on the big day it's just one for time. ;)
