The Stairclimb for Clean Air 2012
The BC Lung Association’s fire fighter Stairclimb division is one of the largest of its kind in Canada. The event is successful, competitive, and enjoyable because participants and team captains come prepared.
Whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned veteran, please familiarize yourself with event registration, the team captain's role, as well as, equipment and bottle guidelines.
Firefighter Registration
Due to changes in funding for 2012, firefighter participants will be required to pay a registration fee of $25 and fundraise a minimum of $125 in order to participate.
Where does the money raised go?
Since firefighters are disproportionately affected by types of lung disease; we hope that you will challenge yourself not only physically as you train for the Stairclimb for Clean Air, but also push yourself further by raising funds for a vital cause. Funds raised from the Stairclimb will go towards essential lung disease education and research programs.
Although the minimum is only $125, teams and individual members are encouraged to fundraise even more. Excellent incentive prizes available for those that choose to participate in this way. Click here for the complete list.
