We are a team of five full-time firefighters and one volunteer who are climbing for Rita Cyprien this year. Rita was diagnosed with colon cancer last summer, a diagnosis that has affected our entire department. In the fire service, your coworkers become your family and Rita is the centre of ours. For the last eighteen years, Rita has kept all 236 of us up to date on all our training requirements, keeping us safe! This year, Shawn, Dennis, Joey, Guy, Mike and Brad will be representing the entire department as we help Rita complete her climb and conquer this disease.
