This is the story of a man, who by all accounts, has received a challenging diagnosis, and who, by any standards, could have slowed down years ago. But he hasn't, and instead, he's overcoming his health challenges to help patients at Lurie's Children's hospital through the Aon Step Up For Kids fundraiser.
Larry Pirovano, a resident at The Clare, in downtown Chicago has been working with his NIFS personal trainer, Zach DeCoster to accomplish the stair climb challenge that required more than 1,600 steps. We've got his amazing stats below as well as a video from a local NBC affilate who profiled his inspiring story.
- On January 25, 2015, Larry and Zach climbed 80 flights of stairs in the Aon Center in 50 minutes and 15 seconds.
- Larry placed 2nd in his age bracket.
- He raise the most money of all individual participants and was 16th in total fundraising including all teams and individuals.
