One dollar per step. For Bill Price, a firefighter and registrant for the upcoming National Stair Climb for Fallen Firefighters, that seemed like a fitting fundraising goal. Specifically, $2,200–a dollar for every step FDNY firefighters faced as they prepared to ascend the stairs in the World Trade Center on 9/11.
As of August 31, Price had exceeded that fundraising goal, and was still going. “Every dollar gets me one more step closer,” he says.
Various organizations hold stair climbs as fitness challenges and to honor those killed on 9/11. But the National Stair Climb is the first to honor all fallen firefighters and to take place in New York City, with the support of the FDNY. The event, presented by United Technologies, will be held Saturday, October 10, at Citi Field, and is open to the public.
