A fundraiser was held Sunday Night November 2nd at Jillian’s Billards in Manchester NH for “Mr. Ed” Gannon. “Mr. Ed” is participating in the Seattle Stair Climb to raise money for cancer. The fundraiser was billed as firefighter appreciation night and many firefighters went to support our Union brother. There was also an appearance from the one of the Patriots Cheerleaders who helped pass around “the boot” collecting money from all the patrons in the establishment. The event raised almost five hundred dollars. To date, “Mr. Ed” has raised over one thousand dollars for this just and noble cause.
“Mr. Ed” is the first firefighter from NH to compete in this event. He is traveling to Seattle, where he will climb 69 stories, each step raising money for those who suffer or suffered from cancer. “Mr. Ed” will be climbing those stairs wearing full firefighting gear and breathing air from his SCBA. When “Mr. Ed” reaches the top of the tower, instead of taking the elevator down like most, he has committed to climbing only stairs so not only will he climb the 69 stories up, he will also go down the 69 stories on foot as well.
“Mr. Ed” will be traveling to Seattle in March of 2009, plenty of time to raise a lot more money!All the members of Local 4392 want to wish “Mr. Ed” the best of luck!
