Climb 4 The Fallen media event

The media business can be unbelievably competitive. Having said that, I have always found it beyond awesome when competitors come together for a worthy cause

That was the case this morning when leading on-camera hosts, anchors, a meteorologist, and car mogul strapped on firefighter gear for the media event for Climb 4 The Fallen, which raises money for families of firefighters whose lives were lost in the line of duty.

It was the least I could do to get my happy ass up this morning at the crack of dawn for a little photography of the event. You all do amazing work.

The gear they'll be wearing to
climb the stairs on the 14 story building
is laid out.

KGUN 9 weekend anchors Valerie Cavazos
and Christina Myers, and Morning Blend
host Amanda Guralski suit up for the climb.

Amanda suited up in firefighting gear
and on Instagram on her phone.
A true multitasker.

This young man led the charge up the stairs.
I went up to the fourth floor to get
the photos of the climbers.
