Martina Navratilova scales bank of America towerin preparation for mt. Kilimanjaro challenge


With just 25 days to go before her Mount Kilimanjaro challenge in Tanzania, tennis legend Martina Navratilova today climbed to the top of the Bank of America Tower in New York, to put the finishing touches to her training for her fundraising climb to the summit of the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. The unique climb to the top of one of New York’s tallest structures saw Laureus World Sports Academy Member Martina climbing 55 flights of stairs and ascending 950ft.


Martina was joined on the climb by youngsters from Camp Interactive, part of the network of Laureus Sport for Good projects. Martina, who battled breast cancer earlier this year, will undertake her mountaineering challenge in December, leading a group of 28 climbers tothe summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, to raise funds for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, a charity which supports community sports projects around the world which have helped to improve the lives of over one million young people.
