Largest Firefighter competition in the World

1,500 firefighters in full fire regalia, 69 flights of steps, 300 different departments participating, 788 vertical feet - these facts combined make the Stair Challenge at the Columbia Center on March 8th the single largest firefighting competition in the world. And our local Scott McMurray is in the mix of it for the first time this year.
The proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society -any amount will do to help fundraising for the fight against blood cancers. Scott told me the other night, he just wants to be able to make it up all the stairs. So let's help him out by pledging some of our pennies to the cause and let him get on to the heavy work.
Here is the link to Scott's donation page , here. Scott, we all wish you well!!
PS - I know - I got the photo of the bldg wrong - so sue me, and the one photo that is not mine, is of the fireman gear - thanks to Danni0525/Flickr.
