Carrot River man honours father through stair climbing challenge
A former Carrot River firefighter will raise money and awareness at a stair climbing challenge in June.
Scott Debienne will take part in the Firefighter Stairclimb Challenge in Calgary June 9 on behalf of Wellspring Canada, to raise money for firefighters and others with cancer.
“It’s a firefighter competition, 1,370 stairs climbing Brookfield Place, one of the downtown high-rises in Calgary,” Debienne told northeastNOW.
The fundraiser has special meaning for Scott. His father Dale died in September of cancer, something Scott believes he got from his nearly 28 years as a firefighter.
