On Saturday, our team from Thames were joined by Pylat from Tapu brigade, to race up the Sky Tower in full firefighting kit to raise vital funds and awareness for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC).
With the help of our community, the team raised just over $3000 for this important cause.
Fun facts:
🔥Skytower is 1,103 stairs
🔥328 metres of climbing.....
🔥51 flights of stairs
🔥25kgs of firefighting gear
🥵😳
Greg, Nathan, Nic, Henno and Pylat, did our brigade proud on Saturday!
Thankyou to everyone in our community who donated, whether it was cash or food or prizes for our quiz night, the words of encouragement and always having our back!
