Highlight of the Week:
The fight against cancer does not stop during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many activities, including the March 2020 Firefighter Stairclimb in Seattle to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Fellow firefighters from Mercer Island and the Port of Seattle, who had planned to do the New Zealand Climb on May 22 before it was cancelled, arranged to do a socially distanced climb of the Space Needle instead. Pictured below are Seattle Lt. Frank Brennan and Firefighter Tyler Sell, who were invited to join. We are proud of our many members who have still made the climb to join the fight against blood cancers. #FirefighterStairclimb #LLS
