Calgary Firefighters Climb for Cancer

Hundreds of firefighters and supporters conquered a brutal 57-floor, 1,370-step climb in Calgary to raise funds for Wellspring Alberta, helping cancer patients and families. The Lakeland College EST Battalion 29 topped fundraising with over $23,000, while individual donor Murray Fenton gave nearly $6,000. Even Calgary Fire Chief Steve Dongworth was challenged — in full gear — showing unwavering commitment. For many, including Mayor Jeromy Farkas, it’s deeply personal — honoring those battling cancer and recognizing the courage of first responders. The event brought together survivors, caregivers, and firefighters, reminding everyone of cancer’s widespread impact and the strength of community. The climb began at 9 AM and wrapped up by 1:30 PM — and you can still catch the full event online. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
