Whanganui VFB Sky Tower Team

This will be my 5th year doing the Sky Tower Challenge raising money for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer. It's an amazing charity that does great work for those who are suffering from Leukaemia & Blood Cancer.

Every day 8 children and adults are diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. LBC is the national charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families.

I’d truly appreciate any support you may be able to spare. It’s simple, fast and totally secure. LBC will e-mail you a tax deductible receipt. All the donation goes directly to LBC.

Yesterday at the 9/11 Memorial climb, my climb was in memory of Leonard Ragaglia Age 36 Engine 34

What a amazing day to remember does who have fallen both on 9/11 and in New Zealand plus catching up with friends from different brigades from around the country Manutuke, Gisborne, Eastland, Rarangi & Blenheim. Always my favorite event of the year.
