Dannevirke’s volunteer firefighters are at it again, training hard for the Sky Tower challenge.
And this time they have two new members on the team.
Daniel and Jordan Adie, Michael Sowerby and James Curtis took part in the challenge last year, raising more than $8000 between the four of themfor Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand.
This year, the four are being joined by Ashley Stuart and Zane Gatchell.
The Sky Tower challenge involves firefighters in full gear climbing the tower - all 51 flights.
Firefighters from all around the country raise funds to participate in the challenge.
It’s not about winning a competition, but more about getting a feel for what each family with a member battling blood cancer goes through.
The team have been raising money through Lotto draws and with the help of Cuba St Bakehouse in Palmerston North, are able to offer pies for sale with delivery early next month.
