On Friday, 11th September at 11am, the crew will take on the challenge of climbing 2,200 steps โ€” the equivalent of 130 floors โ€” while wearing full Fire Kit and Breathing Apparatus.

This challenge is being undertaken to pay tribute to the 343 brave FDNY firefighters who sadly lost their lives in the line of duty on 11th September 2001.

During the challenge, the crew will also be raising funds for ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐…๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐‚๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ž ๐‚๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ž.

The crew would love for you to come along, bring your friends and family, and cheer them on as they take part alongside firefighters across the world.

Together, we will remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
