The Falcons, 16 in all, climbed 69 flights of stairs, amounting to 1311 steps and 788 feet of vertical elevation, in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the fight against blood cancers.

For the Falcons, this is a cause that hits close to home, as a friend and member of the Woodinville High School community was recently diagnosed with Leukemia (the school is unable to release the name of the student).
