Firies Climb for MND Blue Mountains
Story
This year, I've taken up the challenge to do #1504forMND again.
In a “normal” year, its myself and fellow Firies climbing the 1,504 steps of Sydney Tower Eye to raise money and awareness for motor neurone disease - but this year is anything but normal.
Since we can't all get together (yet), I'll be taking on the challenge from home and climbing the tough Furber Stairs in the beautiful Blue Mountains for 12 hours non stop.
On Saturday 20 November 2021, starting at 04:00am and finishing at 16:00pm, I will be undertaking approximately 22,800 steps in ascent and over 45,500 steps over the day, equating to 15 times up and down Sydney Tower!
The start and finish of my climb will be at the main entrance of Scenic World Blue Mountains. Come and join in! Last year, thanks to everyone’s support, I was able to raise over $5000, this year I’m hoping to raise $15,000, or $1000 per climb, yes this is ambitious but achievable.
Hope to see you on the on the day, please give generously to this much needed cause, and thanks again in advance.

This challenge is hard, but not as hard as MND which is a progressive, terminal neurological disease. It affects the nerve cells (neurones) controlling the muscles that enable us to move, speak, breathe and swallow, causing them the degenerate and die.
So, to raise funds and much greater awareness for MND, I'd love your support. Every donation is a step towards a world without MND.
