This weekend, a fundraising event will encourage people to use the stairs rather than the elevators at Perth’s tallest building. Multiple outlets report that volunteer firefighter will participate by taking the long way up the building as part of a campaign for MSWA (Multiple Sclerosis Western Australia). The organisers say the event is designed to raise money for MSWA, with participants using the stairway during their ascent. The articles note that elevators will not be the focus for the occasion, effectively turning the building’s height into a fundraising challenge. While details such as the specific date, time, and height-to-floor targets are not provided in the excerpts, both sources describe the same central concept: replacing elevator access with stair use to support MSWA. The event is framed as an effort by community members, including a volunteer firefighter, to contribute to the charity through physical participation in the climb.
