Walter entered with the NJ Deputy Chiefs and Battalion Chiefs Association. Their team was comprised of members from Jersey City, East Orange, Roselle and Millburn.

Gateway One Building, in Newark NJ, is 27 floors and was the site for the 2019 American Lung Association fundraiser this March.
One of the American Lung Association’s signature fundraising events Fight For Air Climbs are stair climbs held in prominent skyscrapers around the country. Climbers join friends, family, co-workers or even fly solo, climbing the stairs of the building to the top! Over the last several years, our Fight For Air Climbs have raised more than $53 million to support the mission of the American Lung Association.
More than 26,000 participants from 44 Climb events across the country came together last year to raise more than $7.4 million. This year, you can join the challenge and raise money to help provide life-saving lung health research, patient education and public policy efforts.
The Fight For Air Climbs vary in the number of stairs to climb, but each event offers an opportunity for teams and individuals to challenge themselves. And every step you take moves us forward in our fight for healthy lungs and clean air.
Donations are will be accepted for this event until April 23rd.
