Close to 500 participants took part this year in the 7th Annual Climb the Wall: The Stairclimb for Clean Air.
The 491-foot, 48-storey hike up to the top of one of BC tallest buildings is an annual fundraiser for important lung health and air-quality initiatives and attracts fundraising superheroes from all walks of life including a large contingent of BC firefighters, who come out every year.

The event has raised well over $100,000 for BC Lung Association research and programs to date, however fundraising continues until March 14, 2007. Let’s push that total even higher!
