With the postponement of the 2020 Firefighter Sky Tower Stair challenge, a Stratford firefighter has found another way to raise awareness and funds for a national charity.
Simon Oliver will do 1000 burpees on his front lawns to raise money for Leukemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC). Simon has participated in the challenge three times.
In 2017, Simon raised $25,000.
"I've also completed the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at the Sky Tower."
Simon has been a member of the Stratford Volunteer Fire Brigade for the past five years.
