Stairclimbing Firefighter Fundraiser



Portsmouth, NH — The High-Hanover parking garage was full all day Saturday as shoppers and visitors strolled about the downtown.  This was good news for Rye call firefighter Sarah Jarvis, who spent three hours in the middle stairwell in full gear raising money for the 23rd annual Scott Firefighter Stairclimb at the Columbia Center. The event supports the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's fight against cancer.  Jarvis climbed up and down the five flights, stopping only to talk with people about the fundraiser, hoping for a donation to be placed in one of several firefighter boots.  Jarvis obtained City Council permission to use the parking garage and she was quick to allay any fears if people were concerned seeing her climbing with about 75 pounds of gear.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
