A photo of a man in full firefighter gear climbing 110 sets of stairs at a Planet Fitness in Maryville, Tennessee, on Sept. 11 has gone massively viral.

Since Lezlie Bauler, a front desk associate at the Planet Fitness, posted the photo of the man on Facebook, it has been shared more than 141,000 times.

Bauler wrote that the man asked her if it would be OK for him to climb on the StairMaster fully suited “in honor of his fallen brothers and sisters for 9-11.”

“I am not one to get emotional, but a few tears were shed,” she added.

The man in the firefighter uniform, who’s been identified by WCSC as Public Safety Officer Jason Harding, climbed the equivalent of 110 stories — what it would have taken to reach the top of the World Trade Center.

Despite generating $20 million more in revenue for the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) than the men’s team in 2015, the members of the women’s team were paid 38 to 72 percent less. Ms. Solo, the outspoken goalkeeper, put the claim in different, yet no less categorical terms. “We are the best in the world, have three World Cup championships, four Olympic championships, and the [men] get paid more to show up than we get paid to win major championships.”
