So, this is just my way of supporting her,” Alleyne said.
Participants climbed 37 floors – equivalent to 734 steps – at the event hosted by the American Lung Association of Florida. Anthony Bennett, who’s been a firefighter for eight years, also completed the climb – but with an added level of difficulty. “The gear itself is about 35 pounds. I managed to find an old breathing apparatus, which will add probably a total of 70 pounds,” Bennett said.Marcela joined News4JAX in 2023.
