 My name's Linda and I've been a volunteer firefighter for 17 years now. What prompted me to do the stair climb was that I had a little argument with cancer. As soon as I'd finished treatment I needed a little bit of encouragement to get back to the gym. So I decided that I would do the stair climb and that would be incentive to get fit again. I'm doing this challenge with my daughter and that feels great. My other daughter things are always fun to do. To be doing something together for such a good cause is pretty special. My mum inspired me to join the CFA. Mum joined when I was about six years old so I've kind of been brought up around it and always wanted to join so as soon as I finished school I signed up. The kind of person my mum is is pretty awesome. She supports me both in CFA and out of CFA and she's a really good captain and just a fun person to be around. If you want to take on a challenge like this I'd say first and foremost do it for yourself and train for it and just know that you can do it. Believe in yourself.
