A Kurunjang dad dressed as superhero The Flash will be racing up 88 floors of the Eureka Tower to set an example for family and friends.
Sunny Aulakh will take on the 11th annual Eureka Stair Climb challenge on November 25 which raises money for the Fred Hollows Foundation.
This year will be the fourth time Mr Aulakh has taken part in the event.
“It started as a bet with my mates that I couldn’t climb 88 floors of stairs,” Mr Aulakh said.
“If I completed the event, they would change my nickname … My nickname referred to my shape and I wanted them to stop calling me by that name.
“The first year I dressed as Thor, but my biggest mistake was that I had to carry too many accessories.”
About 2,500 participants, ranging
from social to elite competitors, are expected to sign up for the challenge on November 25 which involves scaling 1642 steps to the Eureka Skydeck at the top of the Eureka Tower.
