straight to the top

On sunday myself and two others from my station joined 400 firefighters in climbing the 98 floors and 1504 steps of centrepoint tower in 25kg of structural firefighting gear. It was a pretty intense climb but an incredible experience. Together it raised half a million dollars to go towards finding a cure for motor neuron disease.

Congrats on helping raise money for such a worthy and sadly under appreciated cause! Long way to go with all of that gear.
