| In memory of my Dad, and in honor of my friend Robert "Strong Like Bull" McDowell, I will be participating in the 22nd Annual Big Climb for Leukemia. The event is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s most challenging event. 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 or joining my team as we climb all those stairs in an effort to fight blood cancers. Thanks!

Follow-up!
The Big Climb went really well. Our team made it to the top in 40 minutes (counting a few rest stops along the way.)
You can still donate to me or to our team.. as long as you donate by April 4th. Thanks to everyone who contributed! I really appreciate your support.
- Phil.. and Team Soar Feet |
