| Using the stairs, not like spiderman. I'm doing the Big Climb for Leukemia next month with my good friend Kelly. I'll be climbing all 69-flights. that's 1,311 steps (in one day! They won't let us camp out) next month and I need sponsors! 5-10 bucks per person is all that I'm asking. This is big for me considering that three months ago I couldn't even walk, let alone climb stairs! If anyone is interested in doing this with Kelly and I just let me know or go to the site below and sign up for an 11:00 start time. (Hey, we may be ambitious but we still like sleeping in.) If This is the 22nd Annual Big Climb for Leukemia. The event is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s most challenging event - and a complete quad burner! Last March, over 4,200 people climbed the stairs at the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle, the state’s tallest skyscraper, and raised over $700,000. The 69-flight course includes 1,311 steps, 19 steps per flight and 788 feet of vertical elevation.
In addition to a challenging workout, the Big Climb gives me the opportunity to fight leukemia. Leukemia, a cancer of the body’s blood-forming organs, is the leading disease killer of children; yet for every child diagnosed, ten adults face this disease. Thanks to research supported by contributions to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, survival rates in both adult and childhood leukemia have dramatically improved.
Please consider supporting me as I climb all those stairs in an effort to fight blood cancers. Thank you! |
