She told me that you go through actual training exercises including being in a burning building and repelling down a 50 foot wall. I’m wildly claustrophobic and the idea of even putting a mask on is anxiety inducing for me. Could I really suit up in full gear and crawl through a pitch black burning building full of smoke and fire? Well, first off, I’m a really good friend. Secondly, when I learned we would be supporting @learyfirefighters and the FDNY Foundation, commemorating International Firefighters’ Day #IFFD, and be given a chance to recognize and thank firefighters everywhere for their service...I realized I had absolutely no choice but to face my fears and give it my best. And I had a truly life changing experience. Photo 2 is me rescuing someone from a window, photo 3 is me the moment I emerged from a burning building that was around 1200 degrees, pic 5 is me putting my mask on for the first time and facing my claustrophobia fear and pic 6 is me wearing the fire hood completely incorrectly (the firefighters were sweet not to shame me) Please tune in to the @rachaelray show this Monday May 13 to see footage of us at the challenge. I never thought it would be possible to feel more respect and admiration for firefighters but after this, it’s gone through the roof. And I also feel like I accomplished a lot by facing my fears that day. Thank you Rachael for giving me the chance to do all of the above. @rachaelrayshow @denisleary #BraveEveryday #InternationalFirefightersDay #IFFD」5月12日 10時57分
