THE WORLD'S LARGEST ON-AIR STAIR CLIMB COMPETITION.

AT 788 FEET OF VERTICAL ELEVATION, THE COLUMBIA CENTER IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE STANDS AS THE SECOND TALLEST BUILDING WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI, AND THE TALLEST IN SEATTLE. IT TAKES 69 FLOORS OF STAIRS AND 1,356 STEPS TO REACH THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED SKY VIEW OBSERVATORY OVERLOOKING THE EMERALD CITY. ON MARCH 10TH, 2,000 FIREFIGHTERS FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD ASCEND THE TOWER TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY. OVER THE SEASON, THESE INSPIRATIONAL PARTICIPANTS WILL RAISE FUNDS FOR BLOOD CANCER RESEARCH AND PATIENT SERVICES.

THIS CONSISTENTLY SOLD-OUT EVENT IS OPEN SOLELY TO CAREER OR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS WHO MUST COMPLETE THIS CHALLENGING COURSE WHILE ON-AIR. COMPLETING THE CLIMB IS A PHYSICAL TRIUMPH IN ITSELF, BUT IS ALSO SYMBOLIC OF, YET PALES IN COMPARISON TO, THE STRENUOUS JOURNEY THAT BLOOD CANCER PATIENTS ENDURE. AS FIREFIGHTERS RACE TO THE TOP, THEY KEEP IN MIND THAT EVERY STEP FORWARD IS REPRESENTATIVE OF MOVING TOWARD FINDING A CURE FOR ALL THOSE BATTLING THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE. NOW IN ITS 33RD YEAR, THIS EVENT HAS RAISED OVER $25 MILLION FOR LLS.  

Welcome To Brett Jones' Fundraising Page.

Please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for the 7th year by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, my efforts, will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.

LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled.

And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.

Please visit my Web site often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
