The Big Climb is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Washington/Alaska Chapter's largest fundraiser. 69 flights of stairs 1,311 steps 788ft of vertical elevation. In 2008, over 5,400 participants ran, walked, and, well, crawled up the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle.  In the end over $1million was raised to fight blood cancers.  We expect another record breaking crowd and hope to raise over $1million again in 2009.  We need your leg and lung power to help us achieve our goal.  All proceeds go towards LLS' mission to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.  Join us for the challenge!
