They are stepping up to fight depression, PTSI (Post Traumatic Stress Injury) and suicide by climbing the 28 floors of Crown Metropol Hotel in Melbourne fully laden down with 25kgs of breathing apparatus and ‘emergency turnout gear’.
This year, the 600 firefighters and other emergency service personnel participating in the 2022 Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb aim to raise $600,000 for Mental Health.
The money will improve support services, fund research, remove stigmas and raise awareness of mental health issues.
A third of all funds raised will go to Lifeline Melbourne to ensure that staff and volunteers can cover the phones during peak periods on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings when people can often feel at their most vulnerable and turn to Lifeline.
