Glasgow University Women’s Hockey Club (GUWHC) have recently completed the mammoth undertaking of climbing five of the world’s tallest buildings to raise funds for Scottish Disability Sport (SDS). The sponsorship event involved a team of 36 students take on the challenge over five days using the step machines in the university gym.
The students climbed the equivalent of 592 floors (that’s 10,064 steps) as follows:
- Day 1: The Shard (96 floors)
- Day 2: Empire State Building (102 floors)
- Day 3: One World Trade Centre (104 floors)
- Day 4: Shanghai Tower (127 floors)
- Day 5: Burj Khalifa (163 floors – the tallest building in the world!)
At the end of the challenge, GUWHC had raised a whopping £2,837.21 to support the work of SDS.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of GUWHC for this fantastic fundraising effort and for raising much needed funds to support disability sport in Scotland.
