The Greater Napanee Fire Department is partnering with Planet Fitness on September 11 for a stair climb tribute to honour the first responders and civilians who died in the 2001 9/11 attacks in New York.
Participants will climb 110 floors on a stair climber, symbolic of the Twin Towers. Firefighters in full gear will attempt all 2,071 stairs, while police, EMS, and the public are invited to join free of charge. Neighbouring fire halls, local EMS, and Lennox & Addington OPP will also take part.
Planet Fitness has hosted the event for six years, donating equipment use and making annual contributions to Wounded Warrior. Attendees can reserve a time slot and share photos on social media. A donation table will be set up at the gym to support the cause.
