100 laps of the Kennedy Park Stairs of Doom to raise money for Redline

Auckland

On 27 March the Redline Combat team will be doing a "stair-athon" at the Kennedy Park stairs of doom. There are 143 stairs in total - and the aim is to do 100 laps.

143 stairs x 100 (x2 - to account for up AND down) = 28,600. Phew.

On Sunday mornings, we usually do 10-15 laps. So this is going to be quite the challenge, but its nothing compared to the challenges that locally, family-run business Redline is going through in the face of COVID-19.

It's no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has been tough, for all of us. It has brought with it an unprecedented amount of fear, pressure and stress, that has taken its toll. For us in Auckland, our saviour throughout all the lockdowns and COVID stress has been Redline - without a doubt the best gym and community a person could ask for. More than just workouts, this is place where you go to feel supported, and connected - a chosen family.

After helping and supporting us all for so long, its now time to support Redline in return as the pandemic continues to put all sorts of pressure on locally run businesses.

Any donations you can provide to help keep this wonderful, family run gym going would be greatly appreciated. A little goes a long way.

Thanks so much in advance!

Use of funds

We did it!  4 April 2022

After a COVID-19 induced hiatus, we ran our Stairathon on 27th March - and we are beyond stoked to say that we did it! All up, just over 5 hours, which included snack and toilet breaks, for 100 laps of the Kennedy Park Stairs. It was an incredible day, and Tereza and I were so appreciative of the support of so many who came down to cheer us on, as well as to all of those who supported us with kind messages, and donations. We can't thank you enough - this money will go a long way to helping Red Line Combat Academy get through this tricky period. Thank you for helping our wonderful gym!
