Fight for air climb

So I just posted a bunch of pictures on this site from a fundraiser I did with a bunch of guys from my shift from last weekend, it's the American Lung Association's Fight for Air Climb.

Now I know there are a million charities seeking your support, and cancer seems to get the lion's share of it, but think of the patient's we pick up in acute distress the most often, the lung problems. COPD, Asthma, Lung CA, the list goes on and on, and the funding for research pales in comparison to the demand for treatments.

So what we did was sign up and pay our $25 registration and then raised a $100 each, it's not much, but when you have thousands of people doing it, well that makes a difference. We put on our full firefighter turnout gear and climbed 70 stories into the sky. Good time, great team building activity. when we got to the top Detroit EMS was waiting there to help up pull off packs and rehab, kudos to Detroit's various EMS services for being so great.
