2025 Firefighter Stairclimb Challenge

I'm fundraising for...

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.

The letting go and the grabbing on

Friday 24th Jan
I've been through a recent transition.
Actually..many recent transitions.
Stay at home Mom, to working Mom.
Homeschool Mom to private Christian school Mom.
Country living family to small town living family.
My first firehall to my second.

I am learning a lot about change in different seasons of life and how resisting those changes actually inhibits growth. I had a mold, a very specific cookie cutter view of what my life would look and be like as a mother, family, Christian and worker...and where I've found myself is very different from where I thought I would be.
Different can be scary, but different, is good.
I think about the season before firefighting came into my life. 
It was beautiful. 
I had over ten years of being home with my babies, loving and caring for them. I wouldnt change those years for anything. They tested me, grew me and shaped me in numerous ways.

I look at my life now, and feel like I am still working on getting my bearings. Town life, and parenting teens is different.
Different can be scary, but different, is good.

I am processing the grief of our move to town meaning giving up firefighting with Red Deer County, while genuinely enjoying the dynamics and differences at my volunteer firehall. I am loving being on the first truck(rather than the third), or the first to the hall (rather than the fifth). 
I am loving the opportunities to pour into my community and serve more consistently. 

As I get to know my new team who I will be doing the firefighter stair climb with this year, I have the assurance I've had before, that we as firefighters are all here for the same purpose.
To help.

And as we fundraise for Wellspring Alberta, we reflect on cancer diagnosis and the difficult road of fighting it. On the people we have lost because of it.

With this in mind, each time I put on my weighted vest to train, and each time I step up another stair....I am reminded of the privilege I have to stand with those, who are fighting for those they love. To fight with those who are fighting for their own lives.

It is a battle I wish no one had to fight. Yet it is one that will not be fought in solitude. 

As I process the letting go, and grabbing on in my own life,
I look ahead to the good, hard and beautiful challenges.
I remember...
Different can be scary.
But different, is good.
