Help me support Wellspring through my Firefighter Stairclimb
I am participating in the Firefighter Stairclimb Challenge taking place this June in support of Wellspring Alberta. I am excited to take on the challenge and look forward to pushing myself to climb in support of people living with cancer.
By donating to me, you are helping to make a difference in the lives of many! Proceeds from the event will support Wellspring Alberta, an organization that provides free programs, services and support to individuals living with cancer – those diagnosed, caregivers and kids. Thank you for helping us make a difference in the life of someone facing cancer so that no one has to face cancer alone! For more information about Wellspring Alberta, visit wellspringalberta.ca.
Wellspring Alberta will gift a portion of the proceeds to the Firefighters Assistance Charitable Society (FACS) whose mission is to empower and strengthen the firefighter by enhancing the success and resilience of the firefighter community.
Please support me and these deserving organizations today by making your tax-deductible donation online.

Never Go Gently
Sunday 22nd MarMy name is Brad Shearing from Fort Sasketchewan, Alberta. I joined this climb in 2017 to tell the story of my mom after she was diagnosed with cancer and climb in her honour. Out of all the firefighter challenges I do every year the stairclimb is the one event she loved the most.
Every year the climb became a way to manage my anger, frustration, and tears, knowing that cancer puts a timeline on your loved ones and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Over the years I watched her go through chemo and radiation treatments being the strongest person I know, determined, fighting, and not willing to give up.
When she was diagnosed I gave her my firefighter coin that said “Never Go Gently,” and she did exactly that and fought to the bitter end until February 19th 2022 when Mom lost her battle with cancer.
I love you mom, this year is for you.
