Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge
Leukaemia & Blood Foundation staff would like to offer their sincere sympathies to the family of Derek Lovell and pay tribute to the bravery of all firefighters involved in the Hamilton disaster. We are thinking of you.
Welcome on board for the 2008 Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge!
The event is open to firefighters from across New Zealand and around the world who will be racing up Auckland's iconic Sky Tower on the morning of Saturday 10 May.
Not only do the brave souls taking part have to test themselves to the limit scaling the Sky Tower's 47 floors and 1029 steps, they also work hard seeking sponsorship from their local communities. We are proud to say that all the money they raise comes straight to the LBF and we are extremely grateful for all their fundraising efforts.
Plans are under way to make this event even bigger and better than the successful 2007 Challenge, which raised more than $50,000 for the LBF.
Please note: registrations for this years Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge are now closed.
