Forthcoming Events 
The 2010 Tower Power Challenge
Saturday May 22, 10am-4pm
The Sick Children’s Trust has made a new year’s resolution of our own: To organise a tower run up the tallest building in Yorkshire, Bridgewater Place in Leeds. Like us, start the year by getting fitter and be part of this momentous charity event.
Be one of three hundred people running up 600 stairs in this adrenaline fuelled tower race.
This will be the first of its kind outside London and aims to raise £90,000 towards our target of £1.7 million for ‘The Big Move’ appeal.
Our Leeds ‘Home from Home’, Eckersley House, has to be relocated from St James’s Hospital to Leeds General Infirmary. If we don’t move Eckersley House hundreds of children will go through prolonged treatment without their families being close by. Read more about 'The Big Move' appeal here.
The 2010 Tower Power Challenge is the perfect event for involving community groups, corporates and you, the individual, in helping us reach our target. Whether you work in an office, pump iron in the gym or just want to achieve a personal goal, we want all walks of life to get involved!
Participants must be 18 years old or over and every participant will be fitted with a chip timing device so you can accurately see your time.
