Volunteer Firefighters give back
Members of the Martinborough Volunteer Fire Brigade are seeking to raise money for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand. On May 13th, the team will be racing up 1103 stairs or 51 flights of the Sky Tower in full firefighting kit weighing 25 kilograms to raise vital funds and awareness for this special cause. Every day 6 children and adults in New Zealand are diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukaemia, and lymphoma. LBC is the national charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families.The team of volunteer fire fighters feel as prominent members of the community they are in a strong position to lift the awareness of such a worthy organisation through fundraising and to test their athletic ability.
If you are able to support this cause your contribution would be greatly appreciated. For more information on how to donate visit the ‘Martinborough Volunteer Fire Brigade’ Facebook page or to find out more about the event visit the Sky Tower Firefighter challenge website.
Martinborough Volunteer Fire Brigade are recruiting now for four positions to join as operational firefighters, especially those whom are free during the day.
