An unprecedented number of British
Columbians, including close to 150 BC firefighters, stair climbed to the top of Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Hotel
this past Sunday morning for a
BC Lung Association fundraiser.
Climb the Wall: The Stairclimb for Clean Air saw more than 600 participants
scale the 48 floors of the downtown Vancouver landmark in the name of lung
health and clean air - a record for the nine year old fundraising event.
Last year's event raised $195,000 but organizer Marisa McFadyen hopes this
year's total to exceed that number. The current overall fundraising
total is $125,000 and donations are expected to continue flowing in until
the fundraising deadline of April 16, 2010.
Once again, a very big thank you to each and everyone who played a part in making the 2010 event such a success - participants, volunteers, sponsors and media supporters!
