Race up Boston Stair Climb




Title:
Race up Boston Stair Climb

Description:
For the past four years, the American Lung Cancer Association has held a stair climb in the Mellon Financial Center, one of Boston's tallest buildings. The money raised by participating fundrasing groups supports lung cancer research and lung health awareness. This year over 650 people turned out to climb 82 flights of stairs. I followed the Boston Fire Department to see how they prepared for the event.
