The annual Race Up Boston Place Stairclimb, a fundraising event for the American Lung Association, was held on Saturday, Feb. 5th at the Mellon Financial Building in Boston, MA. Team "We'll Take The Stairs," made up of several PFD firefighters and family and friends, helped in raising over $4,000 towards the event total of nearly $300,000. The climb, consisting of ascending 42 floors/85 flights in full turnout gear, was a first for several members of the team and a true eye-opening experience. Several team members set personal records in the timed event, including Dan Aitken and Neil Myers, both taking home the bronze medal in their respective age groups. The team roster nearly doubled since last year as well as their fundraising total. We look forward to next years climb and the continued interest among the members of our department to both stay fit and help in the fight against lung diseases.
