Taking on the Tower: 2014 Sky Tower Stair Challenge

SkyTower

Ray White New Zealand are excited to confirm that we are once again entering a team, led by our Chief Executive Carey Smith, in the Sky Tower Stair Challenge – raising vital funds and awareness for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC).

This years event will be held Friday 1 August 2014, and the Ray White team will once again include Ray White New Zealand CEO Carey Smith, Wayne Maguire from Ray White Mission Bay; Cheryl Hayes from Ray White New Zealand, as well as Delanie Horrobin and John Tanner from Ray White City Apartment Rentals.

The Sky Tower Stair Challenge involves running up 51 flights of stairs at Auckland’s Sky Tower and the team will be doing this in support of the Leukemia and Blood Cancer Foundation of New Zealand.

Every day 6 children and adults in New Zealand are diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. LBC is the national charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families, this support that can last months or even years. LBC receives no government funding, so please sponsor us and help us support this great cause.

Although training for this years event has started slowly, regular trainings are scheduled over the coming weeks at locations including the Metropolis, Bella Vista, Mt Parahaki (Whangarei) and the Herne Bay stairs.

Carey Smith, Chief Executive of Ray White New Zealand, said “After the success of last years event which saw us acknowledged as the highest fundraisers ever for the Challenge, we decided to give the event another ago this year. Although training has been a struggle, we’re excited to once again be a part of this great event fundraising for the Leukemia and Blood Cancer Foundation.”

We’re also proud to announce that this year Ray White Pinehill have also chosen to join us! Ray White Pinehill team leader, ​Stephen Burdett says “​We are looking forward to the Step Up Challenge for 2014. It is important as a company to be doing our best to support those who are less fortunate that ourselves and we see the Stair Challenge as a great way to be able to achieve that. Other team members who are part of the Ray White Pinehill team include Louis Henry, Christine Ulugia, Carmen Gravatt and Winn Cheng.”
