Skyscraper race raises money for clean air efforts
February 25, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY -- More than one hundred firefighters from as far away as Panguitch joined other volunteers and climbed the stairs of a skyscraper repeatedly to raise money for the American Lung Association.
Participants in the 8th annual Fight for Air Climb braved the long flights of stairs leading up the Wells Fargo Center, and they made the journey multiple times—some while packing 60 pounds of gear on their backs.
Thanks to the help of Jason Berry and Chuck Konopa, we were not able able to win the multiple climb category, but we SMASHED the old record. We climbed the Wells Fargo Building 46 times TOGETHER! A total of almost 15,000' of elevation gain. Not bad for a half day out with the fellas.

Jason’s mother in law saw him on the news on Saturday. I was thinking it was FOX 13 because I believe they were they were the only camera in the stairway. Also Channel 2 was live in the morn. I will check their page later. Have a great day~ Diane
